Agriculture has played a significant role in the evolution of human civilization. Farming is the cultivation of domestic animals, fish, birds, plants, crops, and other products for the production of food, clothing, and other necessities of life. Before the industrial revolution, the majority of those people relied on agriculture to meet their daily needs for food, clothing, and shelter. Farmers used to be very reliant on natural weather conditions and fertilizers, and their productivity was very low. They produced very little due to the use of traditional farming methods. 

However, things have changed since then. In recent years, Agriculture and farming technology advancements have greatly increased farming productivity. Agribusiness, intensive farming, organic farming, and sustainable agriculture are some of the modern farming methods that are used today. Crop production has increased dramatically as a result of the increased use of pesticides containing synthetic nitrogen, mechanization, and mined rock phosphate. It has facilitated the green revolution in cereal production, such as rice, wheat, and corn. Farmers previously dug the soil with ploughs. Farmers, on the other hand, dig the soil with modern equipment such as a multi-function tractor these days. With the use of synthetic fertilizers and high-yield breeds, the farming productivity has skyrocketed.

As we all know, the world’s population is rapidly increasing so, we require more products such as food, clothing, and other items that are entirely dependent on agricultural production and it is very difficult by using the traditional methods of farming. As a result, modern farming is required to increase production in response to rapid population growth. Modern farming refers to the application of modern technologies, techniques, and science to increase agricultural output.

Some of the effective methods of Modern Farming:

In different parts of the country, different approaches are used. These do not come within standard farming methods. This includes the following:

1. Manipulation of genes:  Now, Agricultural Scientists are looking for crop breeding strategies in modern agriculture. In most cases, hybrid seeds are employed. This occurs when two or more types of plants are combined to produce higher-quality offspring. Another field of study is genetic engineering, which focuses on the creation of molecular structures.

2. Intense tillage: When it comes to farming, the expression “till the soil” is widely employed. The reason for this is that tillage is a fundamental pre-planting procedure. It entails the disintegration of dirt into smaller particles. This work will be made easier by the usage of contemporary equipment. This is done to allow aeration to take place within the soil. The roots won’t be able to spread and the small crops won’t be able to sprout successfully if the soil particles are too tightly packed together. Loose soil also helps water to escape quickly, avoiding swampy conditions. This kind of farming is just as fundamental as planting a seed.

3. Use of synthetic fertilizers: It’s important to use fertilizers to improve the fertility of agricultural soil. Over time, repeated exploitation of land for a long period has brought the stage of the fertility of the land to a halt. Because letting the ground furrow is an old-fashioned practice due to land scarcity, fertilizers have aided
