The agricultural world is evolving into a digital one. Digital agriculture is the integration of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Big Data into farming practices to revolutionize traditional agricultural methods. At its core, digital agriculture enables smart farming, where precision agriculture technologies are implemented to optimize planting, irrigation, and harvesting processes, thereby increasing efficiency and minimizing resource wastage. Automation and robotics further enhance modern agriculture by streamlining labour-intensive tasks, while blockchain technology ensures transparency and traceability across the supply chain. These innovations empower farmers with data-driven decision-making tools, predictive analytics for climate resilience, and mobile-based advisory services for real-time guidance. Additionally, digital agriculture strengthens market linkages through e-commerce platforms and blockchain-enabled supply chains. As the world faces evolving agricultural challenges ranging from climate change and resource constraints to food security and rural development. Indian Agriculture is also undergoing a revolutionary transformation, driven by digital innovation and smart technologies.Transformation through leveraging the digital tools in agriculture not only offers smart solutions that enhance productivity but also optimize resource use and improve resilience against environmental and economic uncertainties. Contract farming, when supported by effective data management, ensure transparency, optimize supply chains, and improve risk management.
