Technology that uses information and communication to process, manage, and exchange data, information, or knowledge with a target audience is known as information and communication technology (ICT). In addition to traditional communication methods, such as telecommunications, television, radio, cd ROMs, cell phones, and smart devices, they include a range of converging technologies such as computers, the internet, sensors, Geographic Information Systems, satellites, etc. Information technology is primarily used to move information from one place to another.
Blockchain Technologies- In addition to tracking seed quality and crop growth, blockchain technologies can also record a plant's journey after leaving the farm, such as its seed quality and crop growth. Transparency in supply chains can be improved and concerns associated with illegal and unethical operations can be eliminated with this information. Additionally, they can facilitate the traceability of any contamination or other problems in the case of a recall. In terms of sustainability and food security, these technologies are primarily aimed at achieving these goals. Informed consumers can make informed purchasing decisions when they have this level of transparency. A farmer or producer who implements good farming methods is often rewarded with this information.
IoT in Agriculture- Embedded sensors in IoT objects allow data to be collected and exchanged in real-time using the Internet of Things.
It is possible to use many different types of IoT sensors in agriculture, as well as IoT applications in agriculture in general.
Kisan Suvidha App- Farmer-friendly mobile apps have been developed by the department of agriculture and cooperation. Farmer information can be obtained quickly and appropriately through it. A number of Indian languages are also available for this app.
A commonplace for farmers to get relevant information is provided by the app. Inclusion of all federal and state government programs and services is also included.
Features- Dealers
Robotics in Horticulture- There are many differences between the robotics used in horticulture and the robotics used in industrial and commodity crops. As opposed to agriculture crops, horticultural crops are mainly used to exploit robotics because they are still alive and require special environmental conditions, are sensitive to mechanical damage, and are sensitive to changes in the environment.
Kisan Sarathi digital platform- A joint launch of 'Kisan Sarathi' has been made by the Union Ministers of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare and Electronics and Information Technology, respectively.
