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

With irrigation projects most of the water is used in water intensive commercial crops like sugar cane and water is not available in downstream areas. Suggest water intensive sugar cane like crops should be allowed in tail end Ares of projects/ canals so that water is percolated throughout the prjoect covered area.

IoT monitored irrigation system: These days electricity and water have been a rare and expensive commodity. Sensor controlled IoT solutions should monitor the need for irrigating the land. Also, irrigation start automatically without human interevntion as soon as electricity is available. Combined with drip irrigation labor requiremnt also can be reduced.

खेती में कुछ समस्याये प्रमुख है - १.जानकारी का अभाव , हमारेस देश में किसानो के पास फसल उत्पादन ,सुरक्षा,सन्चयन एवं विपणन की सही जानकारी नही है। अगर कोई लेना चाहे तो घर से काफी दूर जाना पड़ता है , यह सुविधा किसान भाईयो के घर के समीप हो तो अच्छा होगा। २. युवाओ मे कृषि के प्रति रुचि है। ३.खेती करने वालों को समाज मे उचित सम्मान मिले। ४. किसानो को जल संरक्षण ,संवर्धन एवं उपयोग की सही जानकारी दी जाय और सरकार द्वारा मदद की जाय।

I appreciate this government bringing new ideas helping the people of india to grow further in the career. However, the schemes are not implemented as derived. From the district collectorate level, the service is degraded and the public doesn't receive the actual content. Government officials say, they are getting many new plans from Government, but not the resources. So I prefer, this Government to think on the resource to broadcast these messages to public before implementing it.

Jai Hind!! Farming should be done as a Collective Enterprise & the goal should be to use technology to its fullest #IoT for efficient use of resources. All the resources should be identified, allotted and tracked during growing season like a project with proper stakeholders. Technology #smartfarming can facilitate all the activities with highest degree of transparency and help to connect with other players like policy makers, academia and consumers. Will upload our ppt in this regard soon.

में हेतव पटेल अहमदाबाद, गुजरात भारत खेती प्रधान देश है लेकिन खेडुत भाइयो को कुछ खेती में बदलाव लाना जरूरी है जिससे फसल का ज्यादा से ज्यादा उत्पादन हो इसके लिए खेडुतो को वैज्ञानिक पध्धति से खेती करनी चाहिए कृषि युनिवर्सिटी में जाकर सब समझना चाहिए और अबतो मोबाइल से भी जानकारी प्राप्त हो सकती है लेकिन कोई इस का उपयोग नहीं कर रहा यह बात हर गाँव में एक सरकारी कार्यक्रम रखकर खेडुत भाइयो को बतानी चाहिए धन्यवाद
