Digital Agriculture can be defined as ICT and data ecosystems to support the development and delivery of timely, targeted (localized) information and services to make farming profitable and sustainable (socially, economically and environmentally) while delivering safe, nutritious and affordable food for ALL. Rural connectivity will be a key to providing low cost data and access to information. Digital technology will be key to increasing agriculture productivity by delivering tailored recommendations to farmers based on crop, planting date, variety sown; real time localized observed weather and projected market prices. Mobile phones also enable farmers to integrate into structured markets based on approved grades and standards. The greatest impact of Digital agriculture will have is on democratization of market pricing and compressing transaction costs. Digital agriculture will also leverage social media platforms to build human capacity. One of the best examples originating from India is Digital Green.
An agricultural information system can be defined as a system, in which agricultural information is generated, transformed, transferred, consolidated, received and fed back in such a manner that these processes function synergistically to underpin knowledge utilization by agricultural producers

Indian agriculture: Mechanization to DigitizationICRISAT
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.

Extentia designed for one of its global agribusiness clients, an Android mobile app which tracks farm cultivation and yields. The app enabled their field supervisors to collect data accurately and make real-time decisions in sync with the headquarters. This project serves as a good example of Extentia’s experience and expertise in digital transformation solutions, agriculture domain knowledge and enterprise mobility solutions.

Farmers, growers, and agricultural companies are increasingly adopting digital technologies to transform a traditional industry. In the past, farmers and growers made decisions based on their personal experience, combined with interpreting local conditions.
But digital technologies, from the internet of things to blockchain, are rapidly turning the industry into a high-tech sector. Smart, connected devices can now provide the insight to enable farms to improve every aspect of their operations.

Many agricultural professionals eschew social media because they don’t understand what it is and how to engage with it and learn. Social media platforms provide agricultural institutions the ability to communicate directly to the farmers and consumers, informing them about various aspects of agriculture (Saravanan and Suchiradipta, 2016).
