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

Mapping of each and every farm (from small to big) in the country through GPS and making a register of their longitude and latitude, is a step which should be taken

It is good this Govt solicits ideas from farmers. When it comes to implementation, lacks in a major way. I believed in govt promises of subsidies for smart farmers and put up a Israel technology poly-house. My poly-house was completed and all documents submitted by April 2015. Even after one year I have not received subsidy and incurring huge interest cost. Request this Govt to disburse subsidy, bear interest and be supportive of smart farmers like me. Then smart farming will become a reality.

The problems are- small landholding not contiguous, overuse/under use of seeds,fertilizers and pesticides,lack of bargaining power among many others.For Smart farming-Land pooling and ensuring compensation(in case of loss),creating pooling cooperative for collection of produce and collective selling,use of organic fertilizers,ensuring optimum use of fertilizer/pesticide(to reduce cost),mechanized farming(only possible thru land pooling),selecn of suitable HYV crops based on climate,soil,& market

the main priblem facing farmers is they are not getting even their cost of production because the middlemen take away all the profits, the governemnt should set up farmer markets in the city where ffarmers can book stall space as per requirement at a nominal price & also allow the farmer to bring is produce directly to such markets without paying APMC etc & sell his goods at market rates, this way the farmers will make enough money to be able to prosper & have continued interest in agriculture.

I would like to implement technologies that i developed over 18 years to bring second green revolution in India, details of the technology are enclosed in attachment. The technology deals with total biomass increase with use of Biochemical Bioactives. This technology is completely different from that of Prof. Norman Borlog's first green revolution technology i.e., Biomass partitioning (using responsive dwarf varieties to chemical fertilizer application). I need your support for this.

If we look at the basics - “Smart farming is a function of Safe, sure and productive farming. Smart environment should lead to bring advance knowledge to the farmer on – when and what to sow, how to use of nutrition and water during the crop growth, How to protect crop from pests and plant dieses, when to harvest & successfully store crops and finally where to sale or the best market and best customer for selling the final produce. See details on Moisture Meter in attachment.

there should be law for burning of field and strictly followed after harvest of wheat crop cutting by Harvester which causes losses of micro organism. soil is our mother for farmer and is alive we do not burn our alive soil.
