How to start farming in small farmland area?

I have a small farmland near Imagica near Khopoli. I am clueless about farming myself, but really want to start some cultivation on it. There are so many variations of that today, it is very hard to just start on my own. Hydroponics, permaculture, horticulture, etc. etc. I don't know how to judge the soil, the climate, really need an experienced professional to come and appraise it. Does anyone here have some idea how to set about it, or who to contact regarding it? Anyone having experience doing this themselves? Thanks in advance...
