E-Agriculture Diaspora: Heralding A New Era of Animal Farming and Agricultural Practices

Abstract

The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in agriculture and the livestock sector production, research, and education has increased significantly. The ICT is primarily making a larger contribution to the production of livestock, the management of livestock herds, and the commercialization of livestock, agricultural products, and animal products. ICT is a tool that farmers may employ to deal with production productivity issues, use ecologically friendly and sustainable inputs and resources, and adapt crop practices and patterns to changing climate. The data acquired via ICT tools and applications can be used by authorities to target social programmes, gauge the availability of food, and change legislation. The technology may also be promoted by them. By incorporating ICT into national initiatives, encouraging an investment-friendly policy environment, and building consistent and interoperable digital systems, access for end users can be increased. Small-scale producers or farmers in developing countries may occasionally lack access to robust yet affordable technologies, but conducting impact studies and exchanging project data and knowledge helps focus and speed up the development of such ICTs in the agriculture and livestock sector.
