IT benefits to farmers

Mr. Prabhakar Deshmukh has encouraged group farming and through this, many drawbacks can be addressed and taken into consideration. Mr. Deshmukh also said, with group farming, it was possible to do farming in a scientific manner, using technology and generating better results and yields. Systematic grading and packaging will give quality assurance and better market prices. Involving women in the decision making and putting systems in place can generate immense work opportunities in the sector.

Agriculture is a major sector which is vital for the survival of modern man. Plants are the producers in the food chain, and without them, the life cycle would just not be possible.

IT has made its way into the agricultural sector in Maharashtra, and with positive results. To name a few, here are some of its effects:

  • Improved decision making
  • Better planning
  • Community involvement
  • Agricultural breakthroughs
  • Agriculture for everyone
All of these effects and more are possible through the successful merge of IT and agriculture which is why farmers are getting more and more encouraged to take part in this positive change. People only have to open their minds to the endless possibilities that technological advancement can bring to agriculture. Instead of being locked away with the traditional strategies for planting, why not get involved in new and improved methods of farming?
