Genetic engineering technology can improve a plant’s insect resistance, drought tolerance, herbicide resistance and disease resistance. This technology gives farmers and additional tool to help increase crop yields. Agricultural technologies could increase global crop yields up to 67%. Increase demand for food due to population and income growth and the impacts of climate change on agriculture will ratchet up the pressure for increased and more sustainable agricultural production to feed the planet. Technologies and internet of things can improve agriculture by the many ways, such as, monitoring of climate conditions, greenhouse automation, crop management, cattle monitoring and management, end- to- end farm management systems etc. the perfect combination of them can promote development of agricultural modernization realizing smart agriculture and effectively solve the problems of agriculture, rural sides and farmers in India.
