Technological Change In Agriculture

Introduction

The “GDP, productivity and economic development” of India has relied on the “agricultural sectors”. The researcher has reflected the significance and effectiveness of “technological change” to improve the contribution of the “agricultural sector” to the economy. Important “Technological advancement in agriculture” has been discussed to visualise the contribution of acts in the implementation of the “transformation objective” of India. The various types of “technological changes” implemented by the “agricultural sector” have been reflected in the study. Moreover, important acts related to the “agricultural transformation” of India as per the “technological development” has been reflected in the research.      

Discussion

Concept of technological change in agriculture

The concept of “sustainable farming” has been introduced by applying “technological change in the agricultural field”. The adoption and implementation of techniques to “improve productivity and fertility” of soil have been termed as “technological change in agriculture”. The “survivability of farmers” has been improved after the introduction of “technological change” and the advancement in the “agricultural field”. The “agricultural experts” have used the “technologies to forecast” the fluctuation in the “weather condition, decision making and data-driven strategies” to maximise the productivity of crops. Proper awareness among the farmers related to “technological change” has created scope for appropriate “utilisation of natural resources”.     

Technological advancement in agriculture 

The implementation and adoption of “technological advancement” have created opportunities to use “updated and advanced technologies” to improve the “productivity and contribution” of the “agricultural sector” in the Indian economy. The application of “blockchain, remote sensing and GIS technologies” has created scope for the development of “E-agriculture” in the “rural development” of India. Some of the major “advanced technologies” in the “agricultural field” are reflected below:

• The application of “Bees and drones technologies” has created advancement in “production and reserve planning” in the agricultural sector. 
• Improvisation and Implementation of “AI and IoT” have provided the benefit of a time-saving approach during the practising of agricultural activities. 
• The “traceability and supply chains” in the agricultural field have been appropriately improved after the application of “Blockchain technology”. 
• The utilisation level of soil in the agricultural sector has been appropriately updated after the application of “Urban and vertical farming” to create “technological change in agriculture”.     

Types of Technological changes in agriculture

There are two basic types of “technological change” in the agricultural field – “human-based and machine-based” technologies. Apart from this “technological change” has provided an emphasis on improving the “quality of seeds” to improve productivity of crops. 

• The “technological change” has focused on “plant protection and mechanisation” types of agricultural development. 
• The “fertility of the soil” has been measured by the application of “moisture sensor technology” in the “machine-based” type of change.
• The application of “temperature analysis technology” has provided satisfaction to the “human-based technological change” in the agricultural field.
• The farmers have put appropriate attention to the “adoption of GPS technology” to identify the “fertilisation capacity” of soil.

Technological development in agriculture

The emergence of technologies has provided benefits to the cultivation of “primary products” in the “agricultural sector”. The application of “technological advancement” has provided proper knowledge to the farmers about the fluctuating condition of “weather, dynamic situations” in the market related to the price of the particular products. The proper implementation of “technological development” in the “agriculture sectors” of India has provided various remarkable benefits.

• The “yielding of crops” has been much steadier after proper improvisation in the “technological development” of agricultural areas.
• The proper adoption of technologies has avoided the usage and wastage of inefficient water and fertilisers to improve productivity.
• “Sustainability” has been created after proper analysis of “technological development” by providing safety to the farmers.     

Technological progress in agriculture

“Technological change” has created “efficiency in the productivity” and contribution of the “agricultural sector” in the country. As the “population of India ” has been immense due to this adoption of “technological progress” in agriculture, the purpose has been very steady. As a consequence, this country has reflected a very “low rate” of adoption and implementation of “AI and IoT” for farming. However, the “substitute sector” of agriculture in other countries has reflected a “high rate of adoption” of “machine-based” agricultural techniques.    

Revolution

• 1974 single active ingredient roundup herbicide was released
• 1975 rotary combines are introduced
• 1982 first genetically modified plant cell
• 1994 satellite technology advances farming
• 1996 the first GMO crops had become commercially available to the people
• 2000s software and mobile devices that were created helped farmers get better harvests
• 2015 data revolutionizes farming potential
• 2020 AI, helped revolutionized machine learning and automation in agriculture

Conclusion

The progress and development of the “agricultural sector” have depended on the approach of adoption in the dynamism of the “agricultural sectors” of the country. As concluded that advancement in the adoption of effective technologies has improved the revenue of agricultural sectors in the country. The introduction of “bees and droned technologies” has appropriately analysed and forecast the “weather condition” to improve effectiveness in the production of crops. The application of “advanced agricultural technologies” has improved the accessibility and usage of “farming software and online data collection” about the relevant outcomes of adoption of the particular technology.
