Abstract :
Agriculture is an important and vital concern for all of us due to its real need among the human being. The field which is responsible for the agricultural systems better and scientific is Agricultural Science and additionally some of the related and allied fields viz. Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural Management, etc. There are different technologies enhancing traditional agricultural systems and among these important are Biotechnology, Information Technology, Nanotechnology, Genetic Engineering and so on. As far as Information Technology is concerned Geo Information Systems is an important name in advancing Agricultural Systems by its healthy and sophisticated features and functions. Though it is important to note that GIS in agriculture is not a new phenomenon but in recent past various new attributes been added into the. The agricultural sector is considered as mainstream for enhancing economy around the world and it is responsible also in socio-economic privileges and changes. The Technologies are important stakeholders in developing agriculture and vice versa agricultural growth. Geo Information Systems including Remote Sensing play a leading role in developing and modernizing Smart Agricultural Systems and healthy Agricultural Informatics practice. The present paper is on Agricultural Information Systems Designing and Development using GIS and Remote Sensing Based tools. The paper highlighted the basic and emerging applications in this regard.
