The gig economy is driving substantial changes across industries, including India's animal husbandry sector, traditionally reliant on full-time agricultural labor. Increasingly, the sector is embracing gig work for its flexibility and efficiency. Technological advancements, like widespread smartphone use and improved rural internet access, have enabled digital platforms to connect farmers with temporary workers and specialized services, mitigating economic challenges and labor shortages. However, significant workforce management reforms are needed. Despite these challenges, the gig economy's growth in India's agriculture promises enhanced productivity, cost reduction, and improved access to professional services. Nevertheless, ensuring fair treatment of gig workers and maintaining high standards of animal care are critical priorities that require careful management. Overall, the evolution towards a more adaptive and resilient animal husbandry sector in India reflects its readiness to capitalize on technological progress and flexible labor practices for sustainable development.
