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

Use of beneficial insects instead of pesticides is need of an hour. Use of beneficial insects controls pest population upto 85% which is significant and in natural way. This will generate good revenue in export and local market and as well use healthy food for coming generations. This can generate employment and is a good revenue model in each village of India and make our youth and village economy strong. This will reduce local migration of the village population.

There are several brands in market who provide so called hybrid seeds but most of the time farmers gets cheated as the packet contains ordinary seeds and some time it does not even germinate. As a result farmers again start using traditional way.

Agriculture experts from Israel, Netherlands & USA should be invited to study and suggest on water harvesting,usage in agriculture in minimum quantities. There are various climatic, land and water conditions, in very vast area of large country like India and solutions would be different. We have land, water and people who are farmers and due to lack of information and support from Government they loose due to drought or flood or finance at higher rates or due to nor selling at a good prices.

Respected Prime minister sir, We can provide 24 hour water for drinking and irrigation purposes through the pipeline by desalination of sea water by external electric field without using any considerable amount of energy. We can withdraw heat energy from air and atmosphere by thermovoltaic effect and separation of thermally generated hydrogen and hydroxyl ions by external electric field and regenerating steam by combining ions to generate electricity. But for all you have to support us by all .

There is urgent need to make farming smart and attractive for new generations.No farmer want his son to continue with farming which is due to the different problems our farming community is facing. To make farming attractive 'modern technology' available in our country and abroad must be made available to farmers.Farmers must be made aware not only about increase productivity but marketing also. Our farmers must emphasize 'farming system' approach to tackle environmental uncertainties.

Organic farming must be promoted with 'cluster approach' in different parts of the country. Organic farmers should be trained about the technology and for their produce market with 'premium price' should be provided.'Organic producer groups' should be linked with the 'organic needy consumers'. Our country has huge untapped potential under organic farming.

Peri-urban areas are considered zones of transition from rural to urban.They represent a wide range of uses,such as water catchments,forestry,recreation and productive farming,offering a unique ambiance and lifestyle.due to lack of clear cut conception & related concrete policies from national to local,they have been the most threatened areas with regards to loss of biodiversity,vegetation & landuse changes.peri-urban areas can play a key role in better linking rural areas to urban areas.

6. Solar panel should be installed 8/9 meters above the farming land in a row with distance 2/3 meter between each row so that electricity can be generated and farming can be done at same land.
