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

1. Centre and state should provide new and innovative irrigation facilities. 2. Govt. Should conduct serves to know which village is suffering problems and should immediate take steps to solve it. 3. So only less water should be used for pitches. BCCI should use treated water instead of drinking or ground water. 4. Manure should be promoted against fertilisers. 5. Fertility of fields should be checked at regular intervals. 6. Agricultural knowledge should be spread among farmer.

Artificial rainfall can be much useful for farmers where rainfall has not taken place from many years. Money provided for relief for farmers be used for having artificial rainfall, helping increase in production and rise in income of farmers by having good crops in the field.

Most of the states in India are having Agricultural departments with huze manpower and infrastructure. But have never seen any officer visiting farmer farms for improving production and guiding farmers. This should be change , and all Agricultural officers should move to the farms and they should stay in villages and not in cities.

Most of the states of India are effected by drought And state govt gives subsidies for building dams and other schemes. But farmers do not having any money to get this schemes so firstly improve his money power and then decide what ideas of smart farming.
