Abstract
Farmers toil day and night to feed humanity, while their social and economic situations deteriorate by the day. Indian agriculture is primarily dependent on monsoon which leads to strong crop output. Farmers face numerous problems such as lack of mechanization, irrigation, working capital, fertilizers & pesticides, availability of quality seeds at affordable prices, MSP, and fragmented land-holdings. Agriculture is a crucial sector for global food security and economic development. This research aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the social and economic impacts of agricultural technologies on farmers' livelihoods. The study was conducted for 32 districts of 3 states (n = 1440) in India during 2020–2021. The study found that agricultural technologies have positive socioeconomic impacts on farmers’ livelihoods. The research also found that technology is necessary and integrated part of agriculture to boost production, efficiency, and sustainability.
