Participatory Farming innovation or agrotechnology (contracted agtech, agritech, AgriTech, or agrotech) is the utilization of innovation in agribusiness, agriculture, and hydroponics determined to further develop yield, productivity, and benefit. Farming innovation can be items, administrations or applications got from agribusiness that work on different info/yield processes [1].

Agrarian innovation is among the most progressive and significant spaces of current innovation, driven by the essential requirement for food and for taking care of an always developing populace. It has opened a period wherein controlled hardware accomplishes the work previously performed by individuals and creatures (like bulls and ponies). These machines have hugely expanded homestead yield and significantly changed the manner in which individuals are utilized and produce food around the world. A notable illustration of farming apparatus is the work vehicle. As of now, automated farming additionally includes the utilization of planes and helicopters.

Propels in horticultural science, agronomy, and rural designing have prompted applied improvements in agrarian innovation.

The historical backdrop of farming has been formed by mechanical advances. Antiquarians have depicted various farming unrests, which distinguish significant changes in agrarian practice and efficiency. These unrests have been firmly associated with mechanical enhancements. Water system innovation was grown freely by various societies, with the most punctual realized models dated to the sixth thousand years BCE in Khuzistan in the south-west of present-day Iran [2-5].

A significant defining moment for rural innovation is the Industrial Revolution, which acquainted rural apparatus with motorize the work of horticulture, incredibly expanding ranch laborer usefulness. In present day motorized agribusiness controlled hardware has supplanted many ranch occupations previously completed by difficult work or by working animals like bulls, ponies and donkeys.

Propels in the nineteenth century incorporated the advancement of present day climate guaging and development of spiked metal. Improvement to convenient motors and sifting machines prompted their far reaching reception [6].

The twentieth century saw significant advances in agrarian advances, including the improvement of engineered manures and pesticides, and new horticultural apparatus including efficiently manufactured farm trucks and rural airplane for ethereal use of pesticides. Later advances have included agrarian plastics, hereditarily changed harvests, further developed dribble water system, and soilless cultivating methods like aqua-farming, hydroponics, and aeroponics [7,8].

In the main many years of the 21st century, Information Age advances have been progressively applied to horticulture. Horticultural robots, rural robots and driverless work vehicles have tracked down standard use on ranches while advanced agribusiness and accuracy farming utilize broad information assortment and calculation to further develop ranch proficiency. Accuracy agribusiness incorporates such regions as accuracy beekeeping, accuracy domesticated animals cultivating, and accuracy viticulture [9].

Agro-materials is the fragmented class of specialized materials that arrangements centers around the horticulture area, with a way to deal with crop security and harvest improvement and decreasing the dangers of cultivating rehearses. Essentially agro-materials offer climate opposition and protection from microorganisms and assurance from undesirable components and outer variables. Agro-materials assists with working on the general conditions with which yield can create and be secured. There are the different material items, textures structures, strands and methods utilized in agro-materials which are valuable for agribusiness fundamentally for crop assurance and in crop advancement for example conceal nets, warm protection and sunscreen materials, windshield, antibird nets, which give negligible overshadowing and appropriate temperature, air flow for shielding plants from direct daylight and birds. Agrotextiles includes mulch mats, hail assurance nets, and yield covers, and so on Agro-materials are valuable in Horticulture, hydroponics, scene planting and ranger service too. More instances of utilization and application are covering domesticated animals security, stifling weed and creepy crawly control, and so forth [10].

Farm management can benefit from smart farming technology such as information and communication technologies. However, their spread is still limited, particularly in mountainous locations. As a result, especially in light of the critical significance of mountain farming, government policies have begun to increasingly foster innovation in these fields. The goal of this study was to see how farmers’ attitudes and characteristics influence their usage of technology gadgets (such as cellphones, tablets, and computers). 63 dairy producers were interviewed in the rural area of Valtellina in the Italian Alps for the case study. Farmers were classified using cluster analysis, which took into account their levels of technophobia and technophilia, as well as their perceived barriers and reasons to use technology.

Farmers were divided into three groups: technophobes, insecure technophiles, and technophiles. The findings demonstrate that a farmer’s attitude toward new technology is influenced by his or her age, education level, farm size, real smartphone usage for professional activities, and optimism about the farm’s future. This research aids policymakers in designing targeted policies to assist mountain farmers and service providers, as well as indicating future product design directions.
