Abstract

Agricultural practices are changing drastically with the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI). These innovations have the potential to cause a sea change in farming by increasing production and solving issues of sustainability. More than 58% of rural households in India rely on agriculture as their main source of income, which contributes 18% to India's GDP. India's agricultural output is much lower compared to that of China, Brazil, and the United States. There is growing empirical evidence that adopting the most cutting-edge technologies, such as AI, improves farmers' economic situations and production. This chapter explores the use and awareness of ICT in facilitating the adoption of AI in agriculture and the barriers to accessing information sources. A questionnaire survey was administered to farmers to understand their experiences and perspectives on the use of ICT in agriculture and to facilitate the adoption of AI in agriculture.
