The Perspective of Advanced Technology in Agriculture : An Initiative to Help Indian Farmers

Abstract

The concerns over food insecurities, increasing population growth, effect of global warming, and lack of knowledge and resources in agriculture demand widespread applicability of new advanced technology. All emerging advanced technologies are built on the concept of AI or branches of AI. Agriculture is the primary source of income, and more than half of families living in India depend on it; hence both the private and Government sector need to take appropriate steps to increase the productivity of agriculture by using AI or AI-based technology. In addition, based on a literature review, it is proved that the recent advancement made in AI is more environmentally friendly and helps farmers through increased productivity, reducing waste and providing an opportunity to earn an enormous margin in profit. This article explains the existing challenges being faced by farmers, the necessity to apply advanced technology in agriculture with benefits, and how it helps India to accomplish sustainable development goals.
