India, a country with a deeply rooted agrarian economy supports over 50% of its population through agriculture, has a rich agricultural legacy stretching back over 10,000 years. Today, it ranks second globally in agricultural production (India economic survey, 2018). While agronomic advancements have improved food security, declining soil health, water scarcity, and unsustainable farming practices pose long-term threats. Agrogeology, which integrates geology with agriculture, offers a scientifically grounded method for addressing these issues by utilizing naturally occurring rocks and minerals to replenish soil nutrients and manage land sustainably.
