Answer:
This generalism includes harnessing technology to reduce costs and increase yields. More than distortions via pricing signals, crop choices (or even application of inputs like fertiliser and water) are far removed from proper science which should guide best practices based on fundamentals such as soil, climate, water availability, etc. “Conventional wisdom” dominates, and we do not have enough networks of agricultural colleges and scientists. While drones, satellite imagery, soil sensors and IoT (Internet of Things) grab a lot of attention, we still have a ways to go before “low-tech” solutions like drip irrigation become mainstream. Major investments are also needed in processing and supply-chain, including cold-storage. One lesson from ITC’s e-Choupal initiative was that free information isn’t sufficient – alternative physical systems (points of transaction or sale) are also required.
✹ We can enhance the yield by following ways:
- Using HYV seeds:
This type of seed development would lead to other HYV of seeds, including bean, rice and corn that could grow in other parts of the world. Borlaug is responsible for saving over a billion people from starvation in developing nations. e.ge India, Mexico etc
- Using pesticides / insecticides:
Killing caterpillars feeding on the crop brings the primary benefit of higher yields and better quality of cabbage. The three main effects result in 26 primary benefits ranging from protection of recreational turf to saved human lives.
- Using high technical equipments:
Advances in farm machinery production changed the way farmers worked. They were able to cover more land at a faster pace; and as manufacturers added seats to farm machinery, farmers found some relief from their backbreaking labors.
