INTRODUCTION
India is the second most populous country in the world.
Agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy.
It contributes around 26% to the total GDP.
It provides livelihood to about 65% of the labour force and accounts for 8.56% of India’s exports.

SOIL DEVELOPMENT
Technology is dramatically increasing the amount of land each farmer can work effectively.
Using the GPS vocational device and sensors in the field, farmers can harvest, along with their crops, detailed digital maps of their fields.
Precise application reduces waste and improves yield

Agribusiness
Online Trading Recent rapid growth in the availability of online
commodity trading has allowed many amateur investors to trade on the commodity market from their own home or business.

Agmarknet To fully utilize the new emerging trade
opportunities for the benefit of farming community, there is a felt need to establish an ICT based "Agricultural Marketing Information Network' in the country.

e-Choupal
ITC's Agri Business Division, one of India's largest exporters of agricultural commodities, has conceived e-Choupal as a more efficient supply chain aimed at delivering value to its customers around the world on a sustainable basis.
The e-Choupal model has been specifically designed to tackle the challenges posed by the unique features of Indian agriculture, characterised by fragmented farms, weak infrastructure and the involvement of numerous intermediaries, among others.

Research
Training Project Indian Society of Agribusiness Professionals (ISAP) is a non-
government, not-for-profit organisation incorporated in 2001, under Section 25 of the Indian Companies Act. It is the largest network of farmers in India spread across several states and also the largest network of agriculture and allied sector professionals in India.

Expert systemAgridaksh, a tool for building online expert system for various crops, has been developed at division of computer applications, Indian Agricultural statistics research institute, New Delhi.
Agridaksh has modules on knowledge model creation, knowledge acquisition, problem identification, knowledge retrieval, ask questions to experts and administration.
Agridaksh enables domain experts to build online expert system in their crops with minimal intervention of knowledge engineers and programmes.

Precision farming
Precision Farming(Site Specific Crop Management) is generally defined as an information and technology based management system to identify, analyse and manage variably within fields for optimum sustainability, profitability and protection of the land resource.
In this mode of farming, new information technologies are used to make better decisions about many aspects of crop production.
It involves looking at the increased efficiencies that can be realised by understanding and dealing with natural variability found within a field.

Agricultural Marketing
![Page 27: Role of computers in science and technology agriculture](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081412/544f5b58af7959c4068b96a0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Agricultural marketing covers the services involved in moving an agricultural product from the farm to the consumer.
Numerous interconnected activities are involved in doing this, such as planning production, growing and harvesting, grading, packing, transport, storage, agro- and food processing, distribution, advertising and sale.
Support to developing countries with agricultural marketing development is carried out by various donor organizations and there is a trend for countries to develop their own Agricultural Marketing or Agribusiness units, often attached to ministries of agriculture

Learnings
We believe that, particularly in the case of agriculture, there is a great potential of benefit from IT.
The framework for an IT-based agricultural information dissemination system is in progress in India at a high pace.
It can be rightly said that various farmers are being benefited from the IT intervention in agriculture sector.
It is one of the most important areas in the near future for agricultural development.
