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

Cont from my previous post.. Fertilizer - Desi cow dung, urine, jiggery, pulses of flour & handful of soil Pesticide - Desi cow urine, Green Chili, Tobacco, Garlic, Neem leaves, etc. (For more information refer www.palekarzerobudgetspiritualfarming.org) In this way, 1) Farmers can reduce drastically their expenses on Fertilizer & Pesticides 2) With increased availability of water in the pond, farmers can grow 2 crops in a year

Hi, monika kothari here from Bangalore. Women can do miracles. I have a plan ... Lady's who are free and wants to do social work can take small amount from all who are interested for pure desi cow milk and ghee... From that amount we can buy few cows...n give 1 add for any donor of land just to keep cows n also organic farming... donor will get milk as Token of donation. To send milk we can take help of school van... Also plastic covers circulate in society to put vegetable waste.

3 stages to improve Farming in India - 1) Water availability 2) Zero budget Farming Method 3) Marketing 1) Water Availability - Mandate 10% of available agriculture land for rainwater pond construction to store the rainwater. Mandatory for rain based farming lands and optional for dam water farming lands. 2) Zero budget farming - 80% of cost is on Fertilizer & Pesticide. Prepare both of them in house by using Desi Cow Dung, Urine, Jaggery, Pulses flour, handful of Soil.

My idea if a govt plan for corporate farming, where neighbor farmers will give there land as a share, and the small land will become a big land, and all the farmers collectively do with the support of the govt and share there profits according to the land. this will help them in bringing new technology like tractors, drips irrigation will surely increase the productivity. this could only happen when govt in the village, farmers are given fixed salary and share of profit according to there land
