Why Technology in Agriculture in India is Important

Technology in Agriculture 04/07/2023 4

• Agriculture is high on the global agenda because of volatile food prices and other factors.

• Billions of people remain hungry and malnourished.

• Agriculture, nutrition, and health are linked in important ways, but the three sectors rarely work together toward their common goals.

• We need to learn much more about how to make new and existing agricultural investments more nutrition- and health-friendly.

SOLUTION: NITROGEN FIXATION

This natural fixation process is due to certain micro organisms that live freely within the soil, and on the soil and leaf surfaces;

Other micro-organisms are symbiotic with plants, for example, Rhizobia with the legumes & Actinorhizae in rice paddies and other wetlands, Anabaena with Azolla

BIOTECHNOLOGY• Bt crops: Crops that are genetically

engineered to carry a gene from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt).

• The bacterium produces proteins that are toxic to some pests but non-toxic to humans and other mammals.

• Crops containing the Bt gene are able to produce this toxin, thereby providing protection for the plant. Bt corn and Bt cotton are examples of commercially available Bt crops.

IT TECHNOLOGY IN AGRICULTUREDACNET

The Vision 2020 document of the Department of Agriculture and Co-operation envisages that "the tools of ICT will provide networking of Agriculture Sector not only in the country but also globally and the Centre and State Government Departments will have reservoir of databases" and also "bring farmers, researchers, scientists and administrators together by establishing "Agriculture Online" through exchange of ideas and information".

WHY INDIA IS NOT UP TO THE MARK IN AGRICULTURE

No idea of Government Schemes

Lack of publicity

Lack of awareness

No Initiative from the people

Technology in Agriculture 04/07/2023 14

The government of India should take initiatives to contribute towards

Agriculture

Can help the farmers by converting salt water into good water which

will help in increasing the productivity.

As government is giving money at the time of flood, they can

allocate some amount of money for providing technology.

Motivate the people to avail the benefit given by the government.
