About

Bhaskar Sharma’s research lies at the intersection of agricultural engineering, horticultural science, and sustainable technology, with a primary focus on the evolution and optimization of harvesting tools for horticultural crops. His most influential work, the 2023 review "Insights into the harvesting tools and equipment's for horticultural crops: From then to now," has garnered 45 citations, reflecting its role as a key resource for scholars and practitioners alike. In this comprehensive analysis, Sharma traces the trajectory from manual, labor-intensive methods to modern mechanized and precision-driven innovations, illuminating how technological advancements have reshaped crop harvesting efficiency, reduce post-harvest losses, and enhanced food security. By synthesizing historical practices with contemporary breakthroughs, he provides a critical framework for designing tools that balance productivity with the delicate handling requirements of fruits and vegetables. Sharma’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring the engineering challenges of smallholder agriculture and the integration of smart technologies into harvesting equipment. His work not only documents a transformative journey but also charts a forward-looking path for sustainable horticultural mechanization, making him a notable voice in the ongoing dialogue between tradition and innovation in agricultural systems.
