IT professional interested in Agriculture

[praveenn33]

Hi All,
I am an IT professional for 10 years now and I was always interested in Agriculture. I also have a rooftop garden and know very basics of growing plants.
I now wish to start my journey towards being an Agriculturist or start farming. I do not have any idea on how to go about it. I neither have my own agriculture land. I have heard you have PG courses on Agriculture -
Can anyone here help me start and where to start?
Thanks,
Praveen

I have 2 storey individual house and terrace and trying to plan for starting Mushroom cultivation in small level and gradually try to rent a shed nearby(around 20-30 kms from my area) I am planning this for December to start cultivating mushroom in small quantity and sell it of local market or online grocery stores for now.

Anybody here who is buying Mushroom(oyster in winter and milky in summer) in small quantities ?

Hello all,

My experience is unique!
I am an IT Professional working on Aviation IT Systems. Although my Dad was farmer and I was wishing to be sticking to the same field, My parents and circumstances forced me to choose IT field.
I still have few more years when I can handover my responsibilities and settle back to my desired field that's Agriculture (living with mother nature).
I bought the Agri land,
I laid the infrastructure.
But can't go ahead as per my plan due to lack of my personal presence.

Hence, Am planning to either lease-out my facilities or work in a partnership with those interested as per agreed mutual terms.
If interested please WhatsApp me +96599786884.

Thank you all.
