This document discusses how information technology can be used to improve and support the agriculture sector in Sri Lanka. It notes that agriculture is a major socio-economic component in Sri Lanka, with approximately 75% of people living in rural areas dependent on agriculture. However, food resources are scarce and Sri Lanka needs to import food. The document then discusses how IT can be applied at different stages of agriculture, including using automated measurement of tree girth in rubber plantations, precision fertilizing aided by satellites, reducing produce destruction during distribution through e-commerce and tracking systems, and implementing data mining and automated warehousing to improve consumption. The overall message is that IT can enhance agriculture to produce more with fewer resources and higher efficiency.

Use of IT in agriculture
Information technology can be used in several ways to improve Indian agriculture, including weather forecasting, digital marketplaces, mobile advisory services, greenhouse monitoring, GPS and GIS mapping, and drone applications. IT initiatives aim to increase food production and farmer incomes by providing timely information on prices, weather, and best practices. Challenges remain in fully utilizing IT due to infrastructure and adoption barriers in rural areas.
ICT in agriculture
The document discusses the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) in agriculture, also known as e-agriculture. E-agriculture aims to enhance agricultural development through improved information and communication processes. It involves using ICT innovatively in rural areas with a primary focus on agriculture. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is responsible for organizing activities related to e-agriculture. Application of ICT such as office automation can increase productivity and interconnectivity between organizations involved in the agriculture sector and rural development.
Agriculture Technology
According to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, food production must increase by 60% to feed the Earth’s growing population which is expected to hit 9 billion by 2050. Ninety percent of the growth in crop production is expected to come from higher yields on existing farm land requiring farmers to gain additional efficiencies from their land.
The agriculture industry is already highly dependent on technology and is not slow to adopt new hardware and software if it can help improve yields. Current forms of agriculture technology, often referred to as “precision agriculture,” help farmers determine where and what to plant on their land with a level of accuracy that was not possible ten years ago. The next step is to move from precision agriculture to predictive agriculture and “Big Data” will be the main driver of this change.

This document discusses a study on the adoption of communication technologies by agricultural producers. The study found five key factors that influence producers' communication strategies: [1] Larger operations tend to adopt technologies more quickly than smaller operations. [2] Younger producers bring new technologies to family operations. [3] Equipment upgrades require better computer technologies. [4] Off-farm jobs expose producers to new technologies. [5] Market volatility increases the need for quick access to information on mobile devices. The study concludes that producers are increasingly using smartphones to access timely information on weather and markets.

The document discusses content development for agricultural decision support systems in India. It outlines a framework for developing location and crop-specific content to support the eSagu personalized agricultural advisory system and eAgromet weather advisory system. The framework involves developing detailed chapters on topics like crop varieties, soil types, cultivation practices, pest and nutrient management, etc. specific to different crops and regions. This localized content would help agricultural experts provide better advice to farmers through the advisory systems by improving their understanding of diverse local growing conditions and issues. Developing such comprehensive yet tailored content is challenging but critical for making systems like eSagu and eAgromet more effective.

Shares the new dimensions in ICTs and Knowledge Management which greatly influence Agricultural Extension Information ServicesA Farming Systems Approach to Support Planning and Investment in Agriculture
This document discusses the importance of taking a farming systems approach to support agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. It notes that a one-size-fits-all approach has not been effective due to the diversity of farming systems and households. Taking a farming systems approach allows for understanding the complexity of farm decision making and better targeting of interventions. The document proposes classifying farming systems based on agro-ecology, market access, and commodities to simplify complexity for investment planning while still recognizing internal heterogeneity. This approach could help prioritize poverty reduction pathways, technologies, and policies for each system.

Indian agriculture: Mechanization to Digitization
India is characterized by small farm holdings. More than 80% of the land holdings are less than 2 ha (5 acres). About 55% of India’s population is engaged in Agriculture with 40% farm mechanization. Due to non-remunerative nature of farming, more than 50% farmers in India are in debt. This situation has constrained farmers from investing in mechanization and other technologies.
