Indoor farming is an important part of modern agriculture for producing crops in a controlled environment. There is an increasing growth for indoor farming globally propelled by the rising world population along with a consequent demand for consistent food supplies. Conventional agriculture is suitable for areas with sufficient land and water supply. Since the percentage of arable land and water supply to support conventional agriculture is diminishing, the demand for indoor farming is heightening. Indoor farms can help to grow the total crop yield per unit area by utilizing the stacked layers of potted seeds, and this is further expected to drive the market. Indoor farming mainly implements methods, including aquaponics, aeroponics, and hydroponics also utilizes artificial lighting such as LED lights for adequate light levels and nutrients. Indoor farming method or concept further employs various technologies that become the means of operation. For instance, to collect data, indoor farming depends on the Internet of Things (IoT), GPS, and other sensor-based technologies, which allow seamless data collection. For data analysis, several farm management software and artificial intelligence (AI) based tools can be utilized to make sense of the collected data, and later autonomous machines and other mechanical equipment can be employed to take necessary actions.

The agriculture industry is one of the biggest and most revenue-generating industries in the world. The agricultural production by the farmers helps in tackling the global food demand, which is expected to increase with the growing population. Farmers worldwide depend on agricultural production for their livelihood, and increased efficiency in the field would help in the upliftment of farmers and an increased global agricultural production. Farm management software and data analytic solutions can play a significant role in the growth of the global agricultural sector. Farm management software helps in the overall digitization of the agricultural sector. Through software solutions in the field, agricultural activities can be better monitored and managed. This software also enables controlling of field activities remotely. Farmer can strategically plan how the activities in the field can be undertaken, which would lead to more transparency in the field and increased agricultural efficiency. The software-operated tools help reduce errors in the field as the farmer can easily track multiple tasks in their software applications and data storage.

The agriculture sector is quickly emerging in platform economics, and the rapid development of digital interfaces does not entirely depend on supply and demand. Collaborative platforms, such as finance, renting farms, exchanging services, and produces such as seeds, fruits, vegetables, and others have also appeared along with marketplaces. As internet networks are expanding into rural areas and smart devices are penetrating the agriculture sector, more opportunities to use technology for the benefit of farmers are growing. The agricultural produce, supplies, equipment, among others, are available on various platforms.

Biopesticides provide farmers with efficient instruments on both fronts by delivering highly effective pest and disease management solutions while minimising environmental impact, and their active and inert ingredients are generally recognised as safe. Aside from the microbial content, carrier media for biopesticide formulation include a variety of organic materials such as animal broth, organic materials, or organic waste products.

In recent times, high emphasis has been laid on the adverse effects of conventional agriculture on the environment. Some of these concerns include depletion of natural resources, misuse of synthetic chemical inputs into the soil, and contamination of water resources. To meet the growing global food demand with the increasing population, which is expected to reach 9.74 billion by 2050, alternative, and optimized ways of growing and monitoring crops have been innovated, thereby implementing smart farming techniques. This has led to a great rise in alternative production systems within both small growers and large-scale commercial productions.

Garden hand tools have supported people in their gardening activities over the last few generations. The garden hand tool category of gardening tools consists of power tools and water equipment. The global demand for garden hand tools was estimated at about $17.28 billion in 2020 and is expected to hit a value of $21.53 billion at a CAGR of 3.73% by 2026. The effective utilization of hand tools requires a proper study about the tool for the specific work to be carried out to improve productivity and reduce the margin of error. Lack of knowledge or negligence can lead to injuries. Moreover, proper usage and storage of the tools to avoid rusting are crucial. Digging, striking, and cutting functions require optimum input from the hand tools despite the dominance of other tool categories. Spades, shovels, pruners, augers, cultivators, shears, gardening forks, hoes, and saws are found in the basic tool kits of professional gardeners, horticulturists, and home gardeners today, signifying the momentum of hand tools.
