Abstract :
Information Technology is an important applied science and deals with various aspects of the information and technologies. Information Technology is very close with the Computing, Computer Science etc. The applications of Information Technology are there in almost all the fields and it is increasing in all the fields. There are many benefits of the Information Technology and therefore this trend is growing. Initially only in business and commerce, education and training Information Technology was applicable but it is now common in almost all the fields and agriculture is not exception to this. There are many areas and sectors in which Information Technology can be applicable effectively with suitable strategies. Information Technology is responsible for designing and development of the information systems. And regarding agriculture it is dedicated in agricultural information systems development only. The applications of Information Technology in agriculture have led an important subject called Agricultural Informatics. However this is also called as Agricultural Information Technology. Management also plays an important role in developing smart and dedicated agricultural systems. Sustainability is the need of the hour and there are many concerns on developing Sustainable Agriculture with IT and Management tools. This paper is conceptual in nature and deals with various aspects on IT and Management in respect of smarter and digital agricultural practices. Paper also emphasizes about the possible role of the academic institutions in developing such systems
