Digital Agriculture Infrastructures for Future Farming in India

Abstract

This study focuses on the adoption of digital agriculture infrastructure in India. Digital farming methods through information and communication technology can be a game changer in the rural economy. For doubling farmer’s income by 2022, under this initiative, the Government of India introduced many programs and services with respect to digital agriculture. For example, Kisan Call Centres will provide free advice to farmers who have queries about agriculture and allied activities, many software and mobile applications were created to collect data on various topics, such as trade, market prices, crop diseases, soil types, seeds, pest control, etc. Under the ATMA scheme, the Government is conducting farmer fairs and exhibitions to spread awareness of agriculture technologies. Finally, digital agriculture infrastructure significantly influences farmers to improve their yield and production in the future.
