ECONOMIC

 Technology has a significant and multifaceted impact on the agricultural


sector, influencing everything from production and efficiency to economic
outcomes and sustainability. Modern agricultural technologies, such as
mechanization, irrigation, and biotechnology, have led to increased yields,
reduced labor costs, and enhanced food security. However, challenges
remain in ensuring equitable access to technology, particularly for
smallholder farmers, and addressing potential environmental and social
consequences.
 Mechanization:
Tractors, harvesters, and other machinery have revolutionized farming, making it
faster and more efficient.
 Biotechnology:
Genetically modified crops and other biotechnological advancements have
contributed to increased yields and pest resistance.
 Irrigation:
Modern irrigation systems, such as drip irrigation and center pivots, have made it
possible to grow crops in arid and semi-arid regions.
 Precision Agriculture:
Using GPS, sensors, and other technologies to optimize input use and manage
resources more efficiently.
 Information and Communication Technology (ICT):
Mobile phones, internet access, and other ICT tools provide farmers with access to
information on markets, weather, and best practices.
