Technological Interventions for Sustainable Agriculture: Scope and Impact Assessment

Abstract

Technological interventions in conventional agriculture practices have become inevitable in recent times. Conventional agriculture practices cannot meet the projected future global food demand. Moreover, the recent changes in environmental conditions, in the form of global warming and climate change, etc., have also changed the agriculture scenario. It is advisable to seek technology interventions in solving such potential challenges. Many emerging technologies can assist conventional agriculture practice for its improvisation. The present paper attempts to summarize some relevant technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), thermal imaging, hyperspectral imaging, and fluorescence imaging that are useful and relevant to agriculture. The influence and impact assessments of these technological interventions are also included in this report
