The concept of “One Nation, All Agriculture” envisions India as a unified agricultural powerhouse, where every type of farming—crops, horticulture, animal husbandry, fisheries, agroforestry—is promoted across the country in a balanced, sustainable, and inclusive way. It emphasizes national-level integration of agriculture with technology, infrastructure, markets, and policy to ensure food security, farmer prosperity, and economic growth.
