The application of “Smart Green Revolution” is the answer for sustainable development. With the use of technology under development and highly populated countries like INDIA; land reform process (Converting agriculture lands into residential) is the current trend in the name of expansion of cities. In this situations we have to supply more food with the limited agricultural land. To overcome these challenges, smart green revolution will play a major role to enhance quality of human life by improving usage & supply of food.

2. Agriculture – wiki’s definition
• Agriculture is the cultivation of animals, plants and fungi for food, fiber,
biofuel, medicinal plants and other products used to sustain and enhance
human life.
• Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human
civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses
that nurtured the development of civilization.

agriculture
Reduce the human effort
Reduce the time
Planned implementation
Accurate results
Improve efficiency and productivity

9. Smart application
• Efficient site selection
• Proper seed farming
• Crop health monitoring
• Timely pesticides spraying
• Estimate water levels
• Planned transportation
• Accurate stock supply
• Smart business
• And more

10. Trends in using of technology
• An animal-drawn plow replaced the digging stick. Then later, that plow was
replaced by the horse drawn moldboard plow. Currently, we have the large
tractors that pull complex tilling machines. But, even these machines are being
replaced by no-till or minimum-till farming practices, which reduce the
amount of work it takes to prepare the soil for planting.

11. Site selection
• Satellite images, aerial photographs and manual
surveying techniques we used and using from long time.
Now its time to change the methodology.
• Advanced technologies on Geo-spatial analysis
 Using DEM, estimate the slope.
 Groundwater aquifer mapping (Smart water supply from
nearest wells)
 Based on climatic and soil studies, we can fix suitable crop for
the selected site
 Depends on periodic studies, we can estimate crop outcome.
 Decision support by feasibility studies, etc.

12. Site selection process – key factors
• Accessibility
• Labor supply and cost
• Security and political stability
• Bureaucracy and investment benefits
• Frequency of typhoon and other calamities
• Cost of acquisition or lease and in preparing the land
• Biotic factors and the prevalence of pests and diseases
• Soil, topographic, and climatic requirements of the crop

14. Smart seed farming
• After dredging, if we fix the route navigation for drone or
rover based machine, that will fly along the paddy land /
move.
• Depends on algorithms that triggers and farm the seeds
in sequence on same height
• This will reduce the man-made effort
• And faster than good olden methodology.
• Results based on flying speed, distance, time, area,
weight of seed bag and capacity of drone.

15. Methods of Planting Crops
• Direct Seeding
 Means planting in the crop area with the use of seeds
• Transplanting
 Planting with the use of pre-grown seedlings or plants that had been
propagated from seeds

Smart pesticides spraying

18. Smart pesticides spraying
We can spray pesticides in different time intervals
Based on wind speed we can change our drones direction
As per navigation, drone sprays the liquid or any
One person is enough to operate the instrument

19. Smart irrigation
• Every crop needs water, but in
different ratios. So, if we have planned
sprinkling system, we can save
maximum water.
• For example., tomato kind of plants,
doesn’t need much water, but when
moisture content has less in climate it
requires water. In this situation if we
fix thermal sensor at crop site that will
give climatic conditions report for
every 1hour, by using these results our
sprinklers can on automatically if
plants requires water.
• In this method instead of giving
continues watering, we can give when
its necessary and where it need. So we
can save most of the water without
any extra effort.

24. Smart Business
• An individual Person decides to go into farming, the
purchase of a farm lot being considered as a better
alternative of investing hard-earned money rather than
depositing it in a bank. Here one of the most important
considerations is the value of the property, that is, the
selling price is as low as can be reasonably possible.
Other factors being considered are water supply and
those which make the farm suitable to a wide choice of
crops and investment opportunities.

26. Conclusion
• With the use of technology under development and highly populated
countries like INDIA; land reform process (Converting agriculture lands into
residential) is the current trend in the name of expansion of cities. In this
situations we have to supply more food with the limited agricultural land. To
overcome these challenges, smart green revolution will play a major role to
enhance quality of human life by improving usage & supply of food.
• The application of “Smart Green Revolution” is the answer for sustainable
development, but poor countries have not been able to use applicable
technology largely because of their inability to afford to the available
alternatives.
