Question

Assuming I've no prior experience or knowledge of farming.

Answer 1

Be clear of what you want grow.

Access your own knowledge of the things you plan to grow.

Check you bank balance. Are you ready to go broke?

Because, if you are marketing strategies are not in your favor, others will very easily cheat you.

After going over these things, you go ahead with your plans.

Hope you understand!

Come back and tell me exactly where you are? where is your farm? Is the water available? Are you near any big city?

Come back immidiately and I will show you what to do.

Answer 2

it is very good idea, i dont know what is ur location, but if ur land is well connected to roads, cities, water supply etc. Then i suggest u to install some green houses, shade house, and start with off season vegetables, floriculture, medicinal plants, mushroom cultivation, vermicompost production, Poultry in integrated manner. For more help u can send me ur location , size of land available and abt other amenities like water supply, roads , markets etc. You can also take consultancy from me.

Answer 3

I do not have experience either, but have done some study on the subject.

Consider hydroponics, like column culture, also consider fish farming. Strawberrys, tomatoes, lettice, and fish.

Answer 4

There are extension courses available on-line from many agricultural colleges that can give you a lot of guidance not only in how to grow crops, but how to market and sell them to best advantage. Agricultural colleges that specialize in North India may be the best, but feel free to look globally for new ideas after you have digested a lot of your local wisdom.

One of the strongest recommendations from all of them will be to avoid growing the same crop year after year in the same soil.

While some people will say you need 10 acres, one can make the most money per rupee invested in land if one starts with just one hectare, and learns well how to use it before going to a larger scale. One hectare of  hand-tilled crops will keep one person fairly busy, but mostly it avoids making mistakes on a grand scale.

Answer 5

What is ur menaing of small budget. First of all you need to have at least 10 acres of land for sound agriculture. Other things are secondary.
