摘要

Technology and agriculture are correlated where they share societal values and expertise. The development of the agricultural sector has been largely dependent on labour-saving agricultural technologies where innovation may operate with advanced AI solutions that is less labour-intensive, more reasonable and adaptable. The paper chronicles the benefits of implementing Artificial Intelligence, Cyborg Technologies, Robotics and Internet of Things in Agroecology to ensure the welfare of women and environment. Further, it accentuates on the various automation and precision, while stressing on agriculture related technical advancements like smart farms, automated weeding and spraying machines, molecular detection, smart eye software, and smart irrigation. The progressive strategies to uplift women labourers in the field of tea plantation, especially in India, is also highlighted. The paper brings out the benefits of implementing technological advancement that affects the relationship between gender and ecology and looks at the situation of women workers through the lens of eco-feministic perspective.
