Synopsis

Agricultural practices have been around for thousands of years, yet our understanding of how to make it more productive, efficient and in sync with nature is still being examined and discovered in new ways. Application of innovations into agriculture aims to satisfy basic needs of mankind. Recent pushes like sustainable agriculture have emphasized the phrase ‘innovative application into agriculture’ to a new high. Our journey of capitalization, to serve 8 billion people of earth, from the age of hunter-gatherers to sky-scrapers has relied heavily upon agricultural implications in all their forms. In that regard, these innovations into agriculture still hold a major share of economic resources and GDP of many nations, especially the developing ones. Conceptually, agriculture has become a multidisciplinary subject, compact covering ground for nano-sciences to space studies, having a large interface with social sciences, engineering and bio-sciences. With the pace of global population growth, the demand for food will be doubled within the next 3 decades and in addition to this, climate change poses a great risk to all farmers. New and innovative technologies would have to be made for our farmers so that they get enough data and inputs to produce food in a precise manner that satisfies the health communities as well as the trade communities. The advanced technologies like Robotics and artificial intelligence will become the main aristocrats behind these new and innovative technologies that will take agriculture out to space.
