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

Smart farming is dependent on smart marketing of the aggro product and smart institutional credit system. With integration of these three we cant expect a successful smart farming model. Thus rural youth force can be used to make this initiative successful. This is not an assumption here is a model for this purpose.

For agricultural innovations, we are replicating nature at our farms in Gujarat and Maharashtra. We have found that subhash palekar ji's zero budget natural farming is very helpful in reduction of farm input costs and improving land fertility, improved quality and quantity of food produced. Smart farming must be sustainable . Plz visit his website and find out how local resources can be best utilised by farmers to get optimum performance without compromising health of consumers and nation.

In rural areas of rajasthan still farmers are using traditional irrigation technique. which waste a lot of water and lower the water table. I want to request all the farmers to use drip irrigation and fertigation technology. growing of house consumable vegetables will strengthen the financial power and health of the people. the most important thing i want to suggest is that farmer should visit regularly our meteorology department website it will help them to make there programme efficient.

Take the example of Hiwre Bazar in Ahmednagar,Maharastra to be replicated for other villages in the state. It does take time.. but what doesnot ? Add to this the modern techniques in application at the root levels of reaching people and making it available to all under the govt schemes.
