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

Hon. Shri Narendrabhai Modi. Use of organic micronutrientns with multiple crop application and can also be formulated as per the specific need of the soil and the climate of the region. Such Micro-nutrients dosage is just required as 25-50 milliliter into 2500-4000 lit of water. and to be spared on the soil prior to sawing the seeds or saplings and there after at different stage of the crop. Nearly that diluted solution is sufficient for about one hectare of land.

Dear honorable PM Narendra Modi, Kindly make our farmers so digitally literate that they dont need middlemen to sell their agri products as in developed countries where there are three on average as middlemen in India its more than 6 to 7 middlemen who makes more money than farmers and makes these products expensive for consumers as well. It is a very good initiative from you to educate and make farmers digital expert. Pls enable all farmers to be literate to prevent suicide of them.

Need electricity power, tractors instead of cattle, good amount of water supply. Farming with the help of oxen is a old concept and nowadays, tractors are used for effective and efficient farming. Banks should provide loans for procuring tractors and other aspects. Need to promote agri sector as well to cater to the huge requirement of our country's population.

Reviving the water level is an important part for smart farming. The ponds, check dam, dam, dip tube well, big size well etc...all this things need to be done in mission mode like rural electrification through online update....The electricity for agriculture, separate meter for agriculture, permission for agriculture use of electricity could be given in a transparent manner.....Finally it can be said that the farmers are worstly affected by the curse of corruption bcz farmers are less educated..
