ABSTRACT
Agriculture has been characterised by specialisation and upscaling following the Green Revolution to increase food production to meet the rapidly growing demands of a rising population that has reached up to 7.8 billion. It involved heavy dependence on high inputs of nitrogen and pesticides that have led to pollution and exerted a toll on diverse farming systems, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning, which is not sustainable in the long run. However, with advancements and innovations in agriculture technology, the transition to a more sustainable and resilient farming system is possible, and these are amongst the most impactful applications of modern technology. They are considered necessary to maximise synergies that improve input efficiency and agricultural productivity, reduce food loss, and conserve scarce resources. Although a burgeoning field, this exploratory review attempts to study potential technologies that promote agriculture sustainability based on the literature, both global as well as in the context of Indian agriculture.
