For a student and a parent, the end of education is EMPLOYABILITY. Let it be a job or self-entrepreneurship. An ideal higher education system in professional fields like agriculture, should produce graduates with more intuitiveness and practical know-how. In India, GOI & NABARD encourages entrepreneurs who can create value. So, universities and colleges should quit their age old curriculum and syllabus, look for teaching & orienting with more applicable & recent trends in agriculture. Graduates should be taught with agribusiness management and allied subjects too instead of rotten information.
The improvements in technology achieved in agricultural processes needs to be better marketed to attract young students.
The now ability to drive a tractor with an Ipad and new apps to monitor productivity and logistics is what will enable a tech seeking student to get involved.
More thrust must be given to discard the traditional knowledge and employment oriented subjects like vertical farming.
Vertical farms come in different shapes and sizes, from simple two-level or wall-mounted systems to large warehouses several stories tall. But all vertical farms use one of three soil-free systems for providing nutrients to plants—hydroponic, aeroponic, or aquaponic. The following information describes these three growing systems: 1. Hydroponics. The predominant growing system used in vertical farms, hydroponics involves growing plants in nutrient solutions that are free of soil. Th e plant roots are submerged in the nutrient solution, which is frequently monitored and circulated to ensure that the correct chemical composition is maintained. 2. Aeroponics. Th e National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for developing this innovative indoor growing technique. In the 1990s, NASA was interested in finding effi cient ways to grow plants in space and coined the term “aeroponics,” defined as “growing plants in an air/mist environment with no soil and very little water.”
