Technology Convergence Enabling Agriculture 2.0

The growing demand for high quality agricultural output for the rising population needs to be met with improvisations in the current agricultural practices. Therefore, utilization of updated precision agricultural practices which enhances the decision making system of the farmers needs to be adopted so as to increase the productivity yield per unit area of the agricultural field. Precision Agricultural practices can also be enhanced by the convergence of various technologies including vertical farming, crop sensors, equipment telematics, synthetic biology, enhanced efficiency fertilizers, integrated pest management and agricultural robots. These technologies enhance the decision support system of precision farming which in turn helps the farmers in improvising the farm management ability. Innovative agricultural technologies facilitate the reduction in the amount of water and fertilizers utilized which decreases the operational expenditures and increases the return ofn investment even for small scale farmers. The research study has identified the utilization of futuristic technologies and innovations that will enable the optimization of input parameters associated with current agricultural practices. The research service also offers insights on impact of Precision Agricultural techniques and other key innovations which are converging with various other technologies to enable Agriculture 2.0.
