Agri-Informatics introduces the emerging field where agriculture meets information technology, providing a foundation for students, researchers, and professionals to understand how digital tools are transforming farming systems. The book explains how data, information, and communication technologies (ICTs) can be harnessed to improve crop production, resource management, marketing, and decision-making in agriculture.
The text begins with the basics of computers, software, databases, and information systems, then moves to applications specific to agriculture. It covers geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, global positioning systems (GPS), decision support systems, expert systems, simulation models, and precision farming technologies.
Special focus is given to ICT in agricultural extension, including e-agriculture, mobile-based advisory services, digital marketplaces, and knowledge-sharing platforms that empower farmers. The book also highlights the role of data analytics, big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) in modern agri-business and smart farming.
Emerging themes such as blockchain in agri-trade, drones for crop monitoring, automation in farm machinery, and climate-smart agriculture are discussed, linking informatics to sustainability and food security.
With its blend of fundamental IT concepts, applied agricultural case studies, and future technologies, Agri-Informatics is both a textbook and a practical reference. It is particularly useful for agricultural graduates, agri-business managers, researchers, and policymakers seeking to harness digital innovation for rural development and agricultural transformation.
