THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE AGRICULTURE SECTOR AND LABOUR MARKET DUE TO THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION (4.0)

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4th IR) shall see the merging of artificial intelligence as well as information technology as a new solution to respond to the industrial and social issues around the world, by combining cyber and physical disciplines. The 4th IR will be sending a domino effect of far-and wide-reaching consequences all over the labour-intensive field of agriculture. Explaining the Indian Agricultural Industrialization method, as well as taking a case survey, the following article seeks at defining the manner in which the changes in the Agri-labour market can be gradually explained and examined. The aim of the following article is to evaluate the effect of the implementation of Industry 4.0 on the Agri-labour market throughout the industry. The article concentrates on the evaluation of expected effects in areas such as Agricultural Industrialization, labour market as well as labour efficiency. Merging artificial intelligence as well as big data will develop into a high-tech industry which operates on its own. Such technologies enable precision agriculture, like yield monitoring, assessing soil moisture, identifying insect pests, detecting harvest time, and monitoring crop health condition. Particularly, the Internet of things (IoT) will determine the temperature, humidity, and quantity of sunlight in production farms, which is making it possible for remote control through mobile devices. It will not only improve the production of the farms but then also increase their value. This paper sums up several important features of the 4th IR as well as the history that led to the 4th IR. The research examines its effect on the Indian Agriculture production system as well as the labour market.
