Science and Technology in the Modern Agricultural Sector: An Overview

Abstract

Innovation is an important one in contemporary agricultural sector than ever before. Contemporary farming and agricultural activities work another way than those a few years ago, principally because of progressions in the science and technology, with sensors, devices, equipments, machines, and information technology. This sector, as a whole is facing huge confronts, from increasing costs of inputs, a scarcity of workers, and changing consumers’ preferences for lucidity and sustainability. There is mounting importance from agricultural corporations that solutions are desirable for these confronts. As a consequence recent agricultural sector habitually uses classy technologies like robotics, sensors for measuring temperature and moisture, aerial images, and global positioning system technology. In the last 10 years, application scientific technologies in the agricultural sector has witnessed a increment in the investment worth of 6.7 billion USD endowed in the last five years and attracted 1.9 billion USD in the last one year alone. These modern technologies and accurate modern agricultural and robotic systems permit businesses to be more gainful, competent, safer, and more eco friendly. Further these modern technologies have paying attention around different areas such as interior vertical farming, computerization and robotics, livestock rearing technology, up to date greenhouse farming practices, exactitude agricultural and artificial intelligence, and blockchain. With this backdrop the present paper made an attempt to explain applications of the science and technology in the modern agricultural sector.
