Future of Machines in Agriculture

Agriculture in India dates back to the Indus valley civilizationand in the southern part of the country even before that. Agriculture - the science or practice of growing and cultivation of crops has become a very important factor of the GDP of the country. India a country with 60 per cent of its man-force associated with agricultural activities directly or indirectly is facing an enormous challenge of keeping up with the number of mouths to feed. An enormous amount of change has come in the way agriculture is practiced in the country. Hybrid seeds, tractors, drill machines all have helped in matching the growing needs but it is not enough as by 2030 India will become the world's most populated country with twice the number of people to feed as compared to a decade ago.
