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

Water of good quality from the rivers should be stored separately for irrigation purpose. The quality of water should be enhanced with sufficient aeration, with the help of plants and trees and exposed sunlight. Such water should be used for irrigation to enhance the quality of the food grains.

Can their be some policy on community urban farming, where community spaces which are unutilized be converted into small vegetable gardens which can be managed by the local residential societies, not just bringing in fresh produce for consumption but making the city green in a small way.

Its better to decrease cost of cultivation by replacing highly cost input like (Fertilizer)urea, DAP and other in organic fertilizer by organic fertilizer like vermicompost, citycompost,cowdung, compost fertilizer, mycroriza and other organic micro organism like rizobium, tricoderma and azotobector in the field and seed treatment. Similarly testing of soil must be necessary for known the actual shortfall of the nutrient accordingly application of fertilizer.

Sir, the modern technology of farming should be combined with the traditional methods to achieve better results. The traditional methods used were usage of natural products for the production of manure was cow dung, crops waste etc and the methods followed to do useful cultivation method based on the season. This should be combined with the technology side. Please avoid the usage of genetically modified seeds as it destroys the soil nutrients and health as well.

There should be equipment bank at every village. This bank will have modern equipment required for farming. At very low rent these should be made available. It will help small farmers to keep production cost low, thus increases profitability. Rather than investing in mgnrega govt. Should create water bodies, so that farmer could take three crops and become self reliant.ddkisan jaise radio channel launch kare in local language.

Small holdings is a problem to get economically sustainable product. Multi pronged attempt should be organized to tackle this problem small farmers should join hands with other farm holders to make bigger farms with all joining hands to go the crop and divide benefits as per there contribution. Produce should be directly sold to big corporates directly avoiding middlemen in any form. More cold storages should be built through benificiery companys to work out a sustainable model.
