Abstract
Research in commercial agriculture is the best strategy that can be adopted by a country to keep on track of the second sustainable goal -- zero hunger by 2030. Analyzing the drawbacks of present research environment and find solutions through digital intervention would be ideal solution to de-isolate the research out come in light of disruptions caused by the Covid pandemic. The performance of the research institutes is not expected to remain the same and would prefer to be stagnated at a lower level. The right evacuation plan that could be worked out by establishing connected research through the digital solution and followed by digitally endorsed performance monitoring and evaluation would be saviour for keeping the research in commercial agriculture live at this pandemic. This paper will discuss what are the problems in carrying out research in commercial agriculture and propose a…
