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

The refrigeration or drawer or locker system can be made by which the small farmers can hire those refrigerated drawer or locker for their small quantity of store which we will call them Innovative Idea or Individual Revolution in Farming. (d)The mountainous infertile land may be converted to fertile land by making the stairs/round stairs/thumb system under solar domed or Cord method in which a small piece of land may be utilised fully for farming.

a) They may introduce a co-operative or SHG by which they will develop a PPP system for developing storage capacity, production and distribution. (b) These co-operatives/SHG may have a contract with agricultural universities for advanced research by seeing the fertility of the land and location which is known as Conditional Exchange System. In this system we can have modernised agricultural facilities with a high profit or gain.

I read many years ago in the Readers Digest about an experiment to reduce evaporation loss of water in ponds in the American Midwest. This was done by covering the surface with ping-pong balls. This prevents evaporation by saving the water from direct exposure sunlight. The air inside the balls is a good insulating agent and saves the water from heating up. Can we try this???

Smart farming must be based on clean and sustainable technology. The crop production must be with high efficiency in water, nutrient and energy usage and leave less pollutants. Post harvest handling must be excellent for good exports of fruits, vegetables, cut flowers etc. The smart technology like remote sensing technology, mobile phone apps, GIS usage, weather forecasting , nanotechnology, GMO safe crops, bio pesticides, etc must be used extensively. along with crop insurance.

The first few steps to smart agriculture - 1) A national digital agri grid which hooks up all existing FCI godowns, Mandis and Panchayats for a real time central database on grains in stock, cropping pattern, harvest logistics etc. which is to be used for future planning of cropping 2) River linking through multipurpose canalisation 3) Indigenous GM seeds. 4) Proper and functional cold storage & Agri waste processing / recycling facilities near farms. 5) Improved logistics based on digital grid
