Developing Nations with Technology

Allowing developing nations access to technology could be a key to lifting them out
of poverty.

Agriculture is the sector that continues to sit in the driver's seat and will remain so for
ever, not rid of stomachs therefore becomes quite important for any reform or revolution
to tackle this area and in this race information technology has been the leading candidate
Information technology has taken the lead in the process
of exchanging information between Agro scientists, engineers, farmers and students. Due
to the central unit of information technology on the Internet may have restricted the scope
of information, but the situation will not remain so for long.

Now scientists from around the world collaborate via the Internet, to share information
about research on soil fertility, hybridization of seeds, reducing human efforts and making
the farming environment less demanding and more profitable.

Future Guidelines

In an edition of "The Economist", I found something that might trigger anxiety in any
personwhen he says that "in 1974, Henry Kissinger, then secretary of state in the U.S.,
said thefirst world food conference in Rome that no child went to bed with hunger in a
decade. A little more than 35 years later in the week for a food summit in Rome United
Nations, 1 million people go to bed hungry. This failure, and terrible, which may soon get
worse. None of the underlying problems that produced agricultural a rise in food prices in
2007-08 and increased the number of hungry people has gone away. Between now and
2050 the world population will increase by one third, but the demand for agricultural
products will increase by 70%. "Business is usually better not to go to the estimates, as the
panacea liesin the maximum contribution of information technology in agricultural research
and transfer knowledge.


agriculture sector has remained against time and managed to
green, white, speed yellow, blue and cyber with time.

Availability information and effective use of this information is crucial to successful
economic development. Information on suggestions of experts, material inputs, financial
support, technological innovations and changing market conditions have enormous impact
on agriculture as also happens with any other sector.

How agriculture and information technology involves itself play an important role in
determining the future welfare of those who have directly dependent on agriculture for their
livelihood, especially in developing countries like India.

In this context, it is more prudent to extend the benefits of IT for agriculture and not
underestimate the huge potential growth to indulge in this sector.

Kings of all countries should take initiatives designed to mobilize farmers, scientists,
institutions and organizations to promote the participation of the Information Technology
in Agriculture.
