eINDIA 2010 » eAgriculture India 2010
Agriculture as sector is very important, with a huge work-force engaged, it is in fact the backbone of India's rural economy. Technology has the potential to change agriculture landscape for the better with a pre-condition to bring all the stakeholders in the ambit of the exponential age, leverage on the power of networking, collective wisdom and shared information, in order to align efforts and change attitude. The fruits of technology can only be availed by addressing challenges in meeting this precondition. Modern farming practices and technologies have been implemented in many parts of the world which need to spread out to the areas untouched by it. Both the communication networks and supporting infrastructure have to reach out to rural areas to enable the biggest entrepreneur community i.e., farmers to deliver its best and consequently build a stronger nation and economy.
