Sustainable Development of Agriculture through Traditional Methods and Modern Technology

Abstract Indian agriculture is currently suffering from various problems. Due to increasing expectations of production and the use of various types of chemicals for this, the fertility of the land is being destroyed. Growing crops without using soil testing facilities, ignorance about agriculture and the environment are creating new crises. Insufficient knowledge of humans and crops while using various types of chemicals is causing damage to health. Excessive use of pesticides, insecticides and chemical fertilizers in the soil is destroying the fertility of the land. Currently, biotechnology and artificial intelligence are being developed everywhere in India, if this knowledge is converted into farming methods, it will definitely be beneficial. Currently, the need for sustainable technology is in agriculture, which we can use properly to give a new direction to the agricultural industry. Although traditional crops produce less yield compared to today's modern crops, they do not harm humans, animals and the environment. Today's farmers are educated, and they are also handling technology to a certain extent, for this they need proper training. By going to the village level with the concept of 'Small is Beautiful', we can give the right direction to agriculture and the farming community through awareness. From my perspective, this is an important option to establish a sustainable economy. Only through this can we achieve sustainable development. For this, there is a need for an organization, as per the statistics of 2024, there are currently 8875 farmer producer companies in India. They mainly work on agriculture, farmers and facilities. Along with this, if we instill values to implement various government schemes regarding organic farming, then the goal of sustainable development can definitely be achieved.
