e-Evolution, Farming Technology, Sustainability, ProductivityAbstract
Agriculture is the high priority sector in terms of food and nutritional security. By the year 2050, the global population would be 9 billion and India alone will be 1.7 billion. There will be a huge demand for food in global as well as Indian context. On the other hand, the present food-grain production and productivity are deteriorating due to man-made and natural causes. Therefore, to feed the future world population, sustainable, precision, and modern crop production strategies needs to be adopted. Amongst the precision and modern approaches in the farming system, e-tools such as drones, mobile applications, decision support systems, etc. must be introduced. In this context, India innovated and implemented inclusive and technology driven programmes at farmers' doorstep to support farming system. Integrated Technology Enabled Agri-Management System, e-NAM, e-KVK, e-Choupal e-Krishi, etc. are some of the e-evolutions to bring farming revolution. Authorsopine that; illiteracy, lack of awareness, primitive mindset, etc are the limitations in the sector in reaching the un-reached.
