Access to Modern Agricultural Technologies for Rural Upliftment
The development and dissemination of improved agricultural technologies is observed as a way to increase crop productivity.Since the mid 20th century the international community has devoted a significant amount of resources to develop the technologies that increase farm production, reduce exposure of environmental shocks, produce more nutritious food, reduce human labour and promote long-term sustainability.It is necessary to adopt the new technologies on a large scale for achieving the desired impact. Quality food supply is the major issue in the present era. The demand of food has increased twice as per the growth rate of population. According to Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), about 10 per cent of the global population or 815 million people are malnourished and do not have healthy food to live a healthy life. Use of modern farming has supported the farmers in many ways.It has been observed that with the adoption of modern agricultural technologies, production and productivity of crops have increased. Modern technologies have also helped to reduce the cost of cultivation and made farming much easier. Improved agricultural technologies have always been promoted by the government and development organisations to increase the farm productivity and reduce the poverty. However, the rate of adoption of new technologies remain slow. It has been observed that farmer education, household size, land size, access to credit, access to extension services, organisation membership etc.effect the adoption of modern agricultural technologies. The use of modern agricultural technologies is transforming rural communities and reshaping traditional farming systems. It has been observed that precision farming, biotechnology and farm mechanization contribute significantly to increase farm productivity.
