A Survey on Technological Advances in Agriculture

Abstract

Abstract: Since over 12000 years agriculture has been a backbone of our country. In the start it was mainly man-power and the farmers had to face not much problems. But this road hasn’t always been smooth. The problems have not only been increasing in intensity but also finding a solution for it hasn’t been easy. Depletion of resources, rapid population growth, birth of new diseases, changes in climate, and other factors contribute to food shortages from time to time, impoverishing the poor Indian farmers. In this 21st century, ICT has revolutionized every aspect of life, including agriculture, which gave rise to E-farming. It was started with the aim to provide food security, but over the years it has taken a great turn. In the coming years, agriculture will use advanced technologies like robots, temperature and humidity sensors, aerial photography, and GPS. These equipment will allow farming to be more profitable, more efficient, safe, as well as environmentally friendly. So with the help of this paper, we intend to study all the technological advancements in agriculture over the years. Keywords: E-farming, Technology , ICT , Agriculture, Weather Forecast
