Abstract

Abstract Agriculture is the oldest profession in the world and even in modern times, agriculture has grown widely. In the present scenario, agribusiness and technology are very closely related. In the present modern era, farmers are using fewer amounts of organic fertilizers and using fewer amounts of chemical fertilizers to get a large amount of financial income through agriculture. Farmers are starting to use new technologies from tillage to harvesting. In the present scenario, more than 70 percent of people in India live in rural areas and accept agriculture as their primary occupation and animal husbandry as their secondary occupation. So to solve the problem of own sustenance Indian people used to cultivate agriculture through animals in earlier times but almost 70 to 75 % of people are doing agriculture on a large scale using technology in the current situation. Due to the use of technology and the use of chemical fertilizers by the farmers, the income in agriculture has increased, but the production in agriculture has become harmful to the human body. Therefore, the agricultural products are increasing by using new technologies, but the Indian farmers have not considered that the increased productivity is harmful to health. But from the point of view of the future and from the point of view of making human life sustainable, organic farming will not harm the health and also increase the income in the future. Agricultural produce is stored in godowns with the availability of many chemicals and equipment, but due to the massive impact of technology, Indian agriculture has become infertile.
