Question 5
Submitted by Gullapalli Koteswara Rao on Sat, 10/26/2019 - 15:44
Digital Agriculture Benefits for small & Marginal farmers :
- The rapid economic changes in developing countries are creating new scopes for digital agriculture.Previously the agriculture is resorce based nature and now it is entering in to knowledge based era.
- Due to increase in population,availability of land diminishing,the small scale farmers productivity required to be increased.To organize the total system of agriculture towards a low input, high efficiency and sustainable agriculture we need to modify the available innovative technology to suit domestic conditions,crop type, weather pattern.
- Since the digital technology difficult to understand small & marginal farmers, we need to provide training and service providers and Digital agriculture tools to be provided at affordable cost by Government or Corporate sectors.
- Adoption of Digital Agriculture will help in
- Increase in farm production and Profit.
- It will provide better decision support system (DSS).
- It will improve soil prouctivity.
- It will improve water quality.
- It will improve wildlife habit.
- sustain natural resources for generations to come.
- it will helps us in protecting the environment.
- This digital agriculture tools helps farmers to complete their tasks in reduced working hours and lowers production costs.
- Digital Agriculture mkes farming more interesting for future generations.
Question 4
Submitted by Gullapalli Koteswara Rao on Sat, 10/26/2019 - 15:18
- Success stories on digital agriculture around the developing countries to be filmed and shown to small and marginal farmers to adopt and scale up the digital agriculture.
- The above suggestion may be included in working group.
Question 3
Submitted by Gullapalli Koteswara Rao on Sat, 10/26/2019 - 15:08
- Aggregation of existing research and resources: to be reviewed to implement at the developing nations.
- Highlights of new technologies:Technologies which are used in NASA (eg: LIBS) Remote sensing technologies to be examined and adopted in digital Agriculture.
- A synthesis of th way that target farmers can progress in implementing various digital technologies:The new innovative technologies should be developed based on the domestic conditions, crops, live stock,poultry,weather pattern.
- How to guide for officials or small holder farmers for business model development and tchnology:The council should provide Digital agri service providers to train the farmers and Digital agri tools providers on lease /rental to adopt new technologies

- The land holdings in developing countries like India is very small.Networking of small holding farmers to increase the acarage as single large piece of land by FPO's & NGO's is essential.Governmnt should focus on it to develop Digital Agriculture.
- Latest technologis which are suitable for the small farm lands are Drones & Robots .These technologies should be promted and utilized.
- There should be a separate individual polisy to encourage Digital agriculture by the Governments and it should be govern byAgriculture research institutions, Agricuture Machinery manufactures,Progressive farmers.
- Government should allocate sufficient funds to develop innovative technologies which are suitable to small & Marginal farmers.
- In order to reduce Suicidal deaths in the farming sector, the governmnt should provide farm inputs,Machinery, loans at lower interest rates with minimal documentation and also provide Minimum support price by establishing digital Agri markets and make sure that digital markets are implementing with out fail.The Digital markets to be audited for fair practices.
