The information systems have been extremely useful in managing businesses, enterprises, and public institutions such as government departments. But current challenges are increasingly about managing ecosystems. Ecosystem is a useful paradigm to better understand a variety of domains such as biology, business, industry, agriculture, and society. In this paper, we look at the Indian Agricultural ecosystem. It is a mammoth task to assimilate the information for the whole ecosystem consisting of consumers, producers, workers, traders, transporters, industry, and Government. There are myriad interventions by the state and the central Governments, whose efficacy is difficult to track and the outcomes hard to assess. A policy intervention that helps one part of the ecosystem can harm the other. In addition, sustainability and ecological considerations are also extremely important. In this paper, we make use of the Knowledge-based Tantra Social Information Management Framework to analyze the Indian Agricultural Ecosystem and build related Knowledge Graphs. Our analysis spans descriptive, normative, and transformative viewpoints. Tantra Framework makes use of concepts from Zachman Framework to manage aspects of social information through different perspectives and concepts from Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO) to represent interrelationships between aspects.
