Overview:- ...

Overview:-

The Internet of Things (IoT) can transform the agriculture industry and enable farmers to contend with the enormous challenges they face. The industry must overcome increasing water shortages, limited availability of lands, fertility of lands difficult to manage cost, while meeting the increasing consumption needs of a global population that is expected to grow by 70% by 2050.

Objective:-

New innovative IoT applications will address these issues and help in increasing the quality, quantity, sustainability and cost effectiveness of agricultural production. For example, leverage IoT can be leveraged to allow the farmers to evaluate the soil conditions, moisture level, livestock feed levels density and level of pest control. say if the level of pest control exceeds prescribed range, through sensors alarm and alerts can be generated to warn the farmers to take actions.

The purpose of “Smart Farming” is to increase the quality and quantity of agricultural production by using sensing technology to make farmers more intelligent and more connected.

With the help of this discussion platform we request you to share your valuable inputs on:

• How an individual or an organization may contribute to Smart Farming.
• Experiences and challenges in using technology as a tool in farming.
• Practical/workable solutions for complete imposition of the future of farming- “Smart Farming” using IoT

PM Modijis recent e initiative is laudable. Govt must promote Organic Farming/Use of Organic fertilisers and announce special recognition for Farmers who practise the same and identify export markets. Govt must spread the message of Soil Fertility improvement.

All govt provide minimum support prices, but no benefit 1). Rampant corruption in accepting the produce. Only if we pay, we are allowed to deposit. Else they shoo us away, citing various reasons. 2) Even after our produce is accepted, our payment takes between 15 -45 days. Only with this money, we buy seeds for the next crop. If our payment is delayed we can't sow the next crop. Automate money transfer. Enable instant payment through JAM (jan dhan, ADHAAR, Mobile)
