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

A farming needs energy efficient systems & equipment's which are user friendly and pollution free. They may be controlled though GSM technology by SMS or through Bluetooth.Some of the suggested ones are 1. Solar powered ploughing robot 2. Solar powered robotic lawn movers & weed removals 3. Automated lawn sprinklers 4. Solar powered sowing robot 5. Solar powered automatic harvesting machine 6. Solar lights 7. SCADA systems for irrigation

We need to have co-operatives at village level, to promote large scale collective farming which can lead to mechanised farming leading to economies of scale as well as higher productivity and yields. Thereafter we can have storage facilities of produce at the village level itself. These co-operatives can be funded by the financial institutions, the members can get the returns in the ratio of their land holding. This will also lead to job creation at a local level as well as rural development.

individual small farm cost of cultivation is more than yield,every villages need to organised farmer groups who can provide paid service for other in cultivation farm,if such group assisted with mechanise ideas with tools,machine.we can streamline financial assistance to person in need by providing immediate service on govt paid through group,with proper scrutiny and increase agriculture productivity,under long run plan water harvesting,organic farming need to be organised for it continuity.

Its time to look at newew forms of growing whic is not totally dependant on the monsoon. Hydropinics and Plant Lab are two such options.

Encourage nearby villages to recycle waste water and allow the tested recycled waste water for drip irrigation,subsoil water regeneration in open ponds to aid groundwater level maintenance .Persuade farmers to use open wells and to minimise/avoid usage of borewell pumps through suitable schemes Lakshminarayanan

Other idea is developing a low cost, solar powered, stand alone warehouses for every village / locality. Very environmentally friendly, as no electricity is used, but only Solar power. Preserves perishables. Evens out surges in crop harvesting and demand peaks, so farmers do not have to sell at low cost when it is available at the same time. Will go a long way to doubling farmer incomes by 2022 !

Smart farming through IoT can be used by apps such as pH level test in phones. a pH strips after soil testing on it, and had a picture of that strip on phone & it can analyse the differnt colors & tells the soil compositn for chemical compounds in it.some r essential for growth & vice versa. A central data base for all the data collectd 4m different areas be stored & to show suitable seeds & necessary bio manure compostion,with centre detail should be reported to d farmer.
