Abstract

The industrial production has experienced a technological revolution in the recent past decades. The technological revolution influenced the agriculture industry too. The important areas in the change are not limited to innovation in farming, novel production of agriculture-based tools and equipment, transportation and consumption of food across the globe, marketing the agriculture products, and digitalization. Digitalization is the involvement of digital technology in the existing field for easing the mechanism of handling, processing, recording the data. Digitalization enables sustainable farming. It is required desperately to develop this technology because there is a substantial reduction of clean water and depletion of aquifers effects the cultivation. With the technology, the quantity and quality of the food has to be managed to feed the global population. The familiar digitization technology that makes the agri-industrial sector to experience growth are artificial intelligence, machine learning, sensor networks, internet of things, robotics, cloud data.
