Rapporteur's Report on Applications of Frontier Technologies for Agricultural Development

摘要

The pace and structure of future agriculture would be driven by the knowledge intensive technological approaches such as biotechnology, geo-system applications, IT uses, nanotechnology, etc. Keeping in view the need for enhancement of productivity inagriculture to meet the future food challenges, frontier technological approaches are essential to address the biotic and abiotic stresses thereby improving crop productivity and farmers' income.By recognising the future economic potential of frontier technologies, the Indian Society of Agricultural Economics (ISAE) has chosen the topic as one of the themes to generate knowledge on the subject, and also facilitate discussions to choose suitablepolicy options.
