Explain how IT plays an important role in the agricultural sector of the develped countries

Dear student,

Information Technology plays a very significant role in the agricultural sector. It enables to provide and store data related to the past and future conditions providing inputs for policy decision and for adopting various corrective measures. For example, with the help of Information Technology, weather conditions can be forecast. If, for example, there is a probability of Crop failure then preventive measures can be taken to avoid or mitigate the impact of food insecurity. 
Information Technology facilitates the storage and dissemination of information on emerging technologies, weather and soil conditions for growing various crops, etc, which ease the decision-making process vis-a-vis production and productivity.
Nowadays, the farmer can consult Kisan Call Centres and various websites providing valuable information regarding measures to improve farm productivity and quality of farm inputs, seeds, fertilizers, and various modern techniques. It acts as a tool for identifying the experts on food security and sustainable development. 

Regards,
