To take on this challenge, modern precision technologies involving systems approach towards efficient crop and input management, and scientific land and water use planning, and slowly moving nonorganic farming towards traditional organic farming is an urgent need of our country. Sensor-based agriculture is the best alternative for improving the production capacity of land on a sustainable basis. Geographical Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing, Variable Rate Technology (VRT), crop growth models and ground-based sensors moving from single to multipurpose and collaborative applications interacting across various verticals industries and peoples. Despite several obstacles, there scope to take a part of precision farming technologies in Indian agriculture. The rate of transformation to precision farming depends on the level of commitment of politicians, scientists and technocrats. In this paper we have discussed the present technological components, current status in relevance to organic, nonorganic farming and modern agricultural technologies with GMO. Keywords— WSN;GMO;GM Seeds; Adoption of precision agriculture; Smart Farming; Efficiency; Productivity; yield. . I. INTRODUCTION India is an agriculture country and farming plays an important role in the economy of our country, but due to climatic variations and extreme events and unpredictable atmospheric changes, including at the levels of crop or livestock, farm or cropping systems and the food system will create adverse impacts on agricultural production that results in terms of shortages of agricultural products and rising prices which could endanger the food and livelihood security of our country. So, productive and sustainable growth is important in the agricultural field. In our country, crop production management bit difficult task as more than 90% farmers are managing the crop production by open eye observation. The traditional method for crop production requires implementation of various series of tasks, such as planting, fertilizing, harvesting, with a predetermined schedule. Agricultural and environmental data collected can be used for more intelligent decisions such as weather, soil and air quality, monitoring of crop growth and even equipment and labor costs etc. This is known as precision agriculture, facilitating access to information and promoting capacity building. Precision farming [1] is new farm management technique introduced to satisfy the uncertainties by discriminating the input application, with an overall objective to increase yield and profit by reducing inputs and environmental degradation caused due to over chemical applications. Precision farming is farm management; typically the varied nature of the terrain of a farm would mean managing these with accuracy, which would result in reduced input and costs subsequently growing more food. A farmer needs to take 40 odd decisions over a crop cycle, from pre-harvesting to post-harvesting phases. Precision farming helps a farmer reach an informed and scientific decision in each of the 40 odd decisions he makes. There are lot more issues specific to system-specific production technologies, difficult terrain, and inaccessible habitations, crushing of crops by wild animals, management of small, scattered, fragmented, uneven lands etc. can be handled easily and effectively with precision farming. Precision farming doesn’t mean to utilize resources but to overall reduce investment, decrease pollution of the environment but also get the most of social and economic efficiency. Precision farming methods help in recognizing areas by farmers that have productivity problems and selecting the best solution, the speed of transformation to precision farming depends much on the level of commitment of politicians, scientists and technocrats at whose mercy the farmers. II NEED MISCONCEPTIONS, OBSTACLES AND OBSTACLES OF PRECISION FARMING The need for precision farming: Throughout the globe peoples are facing food system related challenges today which has increased the demand and supply gap. Much can be achieved immediately with current technologies and knowledge, given sufficient will and investment [2]. In order to cope up future challenges there is need to do radical changes to the food system and investment in research to provide new solutions to novel problems. The rate of decline in productivity, diminishing and degrading
