Abstract

Geographic information, geospatial and communication technologies (Geo-ICT’s) have a valuable role to play in agro meteorological management the techniques, processes and structures through which decisions are made about wise agricultural practices and use of all natural resources. A lot of multifarious challenges the world faces at the moment, such as adjustment to and improvement of climate transform, speedy urbanization, rising food and energy uncertainty and augmented incidence of natural disasters, farmer’s suicide, so far, no widespread accepting presently exists about the way in which the development and upcoming direction of Geo-ICT for agro-meteorological projects and initiatives should be appraised. At this juncture, will try to review inter- disciplinary research to present a crisp impression of three exacting inter-disciplinary viewpoints that can be used for the estimate of Geo-ICT for agro meteorological management.
