High Tech Agriculture - The Future Of Farmers

High Tech farming is the new rising technology that has transformed agriculture with its advanced application. It has been analyzed that the utilization of High - Tech farming has increased profits by 3-10 % times.

Therefore the main objective of High Tech farming is to not only boost the economy but also to improve the standard of living of farmers, also to improve the quality of crops, and increase the market value.

This farming requires a little investment in specialized equipment which will benefit over the long run. The application of this technology implies using aeroponics or hydroponics and considering each crop for growing high-quality crops enriched with nutrition. One of the key examples of High Tech Farming includes creating disease-resistant crops using genetic engineering or growing vegetables in tropical environments.

Techniques like Drip irrigation or Mulching film can help to reduce the problem of water scarcity with rapid improvement in farmers' production. Also, it is a profitable venture for farmers because it meets the demand of the government whose ultimate goal is to increase income. High Tech farming also leads to sustainability.

In states like Kerala, there is a problem of skilled labor and fewer employment opportunities, therefore these issues can be solved and the cost can be reduced to 50 -75 % which can lead to generating employment opportunities of more than 80 %.

Why High-Tech Farming is  Important?

From recent studies, it has been concluded that the high rise in population has led to an increase in food demand which is an alarming situation. To overcome them High Tech Farming can be a suitable option.

The following are the importance they provide:-

   1. Increase Food Security 

The final production and cultivation of crops obtained are less than the no. of seeds that are sown, therefore to overcome these problems High tech farming can be very much useful. They will easily provide pesticide-free crops. Through their application, there will be reduced in pest infestation and farmers can gain disease-free crops too. Therefore they can meet higher food demands for the growing population.

    2. Climate Change 

 Over a few years, there is a rapid change in weather and climate and this has resulted in the fluctuation of crop growth. Using high-tech farming technologies one can easily predict the changing climatic conditions. The increase in moisture, changes in temperature, or pest infestation of crops can be easily detected.

    3. Boosting Income

Through High tech farming, farmers can generate more profits. Also, natural resources can be saved like water up to 50% and fertilizer up to 25%. Therefore they can assist farmers in increasing farm production and establishing themselves in the market also.

Growth of High-Value Crops Under High-Tech Farming

With time and with more improvements there are higher demands for nutritive providing crops.

• It includes demands of exotic and out-seasoned vegetables in greenhouses for export like asparagus, bell pepper, sweet corn, and many more.

• Growth of floriculture plants with special treatments, under greenhouse conditions, demand on international or domestic markets.

• Growing mushrooms which are advantageous and proven to be nutritive efficient is also High valuable crop that is in demand.
