Project presentation on agriculture
The effects of agriculture included the development of settlements as people were able to support larger populations through farming. Agriculture allowed for more regular work and food surpluses, which freed people to specialize in other occupations. However, diseases also spread more easily with more dense populations. New domesticated animals like pigs, sheep, and cattle were raised for their products. Societies developed political and social hierarchies, private property, and new technologies like plows, sickles and mills to support agricultural production. Overall, agriculture encouraged population growth and urbanization as it provided a more reliable food source.
Zero Budget Natural Farming
Zero budget farming is the best method of chemical-free farming drawing from conventional Indian methods. ZBNF reduces farming expenses and promotes the use of natural fertilizers and local seeds.
Commercial hydroponics is it viable
This is a presentation made by Chief Visionary and Founder of the Pet bharo project in India at IIM Ahmedabad in 2009. This PPT takes a person intending to go into commercial hydrponics into the nuances of this industry. more details are available on www.petbharoproject.co.in or contact ceo@petbharoproject.co.in
Aeroponics opportunities and threats
Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium (known as geoponics). The word "aeroponic" is derived from the Greek meanings of aer (air) and ponos (labour).
Aeroponic culture differs from both conventional hydroponics, aquaponics, and in-vitro (plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses a liquid nutrient solution as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth; or aquaponics which uses water and fish waste, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium. It is sometimes considered a type of hydroponics, since water is used in aeroponics to transmit nutrients.
TERMINOLOGY
Aeroponic growing refers to plants grown in an air culture that can develop and grow in a normal and natural manner.
Aeroponic growth refers to growth achieved in an air culture.
Aeroponic system refers to hardware and system components assembled to sustain plants in an air culture.
Aeroponic greenhouse refers to a climate controlled glass or plastic structure with equipment to grow plants in air/mistenvironment.
Aeroponic conditions refers to air culture environmental parameters for sustaining plant growth for a plant species.
Aeroponic roots refers to a root system grown in an air culture.

Transforming agriculture through_mechanisation
India's agriculture sector faces challenges in meeting the growing demand for food due to a slowing growth in arable land and loss of farm labor to other sectors. Farm mechanization is seen as key to increasing agricultural productivity and yields. The government aims to transform Indian agriculture through increasing mechanization levels. Currently, farm mechanization in India is around 40-45% compared to over 80% in developed countries. The farm equipment market is estimated at $6.5 billion but faces issues like small landholdings, high equipment costs, and lack of financing options for farmers. Increased mechanization through policies supporting custom hiring centers and local manufacturing can help boost agricultural productivity in India.

The market for this herbicide is growing due to rising labor costs. However, Godrej Agrovet faces challenges like farmers' perceptions, high competition, and established competitors like Pesticide India Limited that controls 50% of the market share. Godrej Agrovet aims to achieve the second position in the Bispyribac sodium market through strategic product launch, promotion, and distribution.
Multilayer Cropping : Ideal approach for better yield and increasing farm income
In India mostly farmers (about 85%)comes under small and marginal farmers. In near future, availability of land for cultivation will be reduce with increasing population and rapid urbanization, degradation of land due to soil erosion and soil salinity.
As per estimate, in India more than 95% holding will be under the category of small and marginal holders by 2050 (Agrawal R.L., 1995) .
For solution of this problem, multi storied cropping system will be a potential and efficient option to provide food, nutritional and income security to the growing population of India (Awasthi O.P. et.al., 2008) . This has possible because of the diverse agro climatic condition, enormous biodiversity, wide variation in soil fertility, large cultivable land area in the geographical boundary of India. Multi-layer Cropping is a system of growing crops together of different heights at the same time on the same piece of land. It is also referred as multi-storied cropping or multi-tier cropping. Multilayer Cropping is based on the principle of high-density planting and making the ultimate and efficient use of manure, water, land, labour and vertical space.
This system of cropping also works on the principles of minimization of production cost and inputs use, development of organic and sustainable farming system in order to mitigate the use of chemicals and ensuring the food and nutritional security to each household.
Multilayer system of cropping is sustainable method of cropping that is cost effective and requires less labour . Therefore, people should be made aware of this type of farming system.
We know that many farmers in different countries are unwillingly killing themselves because they work hard in their land but they don’t get good production.
Farmers who are willing to do work are deprived of different resources like irrigation and good area of agricultural land. In this scenario, they can be motivated to do multi-layer system of cropping which can ultimately solves all these problem.
This system of cropping can helps to uplift the economic condition of farmer. The Multilayer Cropping System is indeed a boon to small & marginal farmers.
Agricultural Robotics
This document discusses three case studies comparing the costs and benefits of agricultural robots versus conventional methods. The first case examines using an autonomous vehicle for field scouting in cereals, finding it reduces costs by about 20% compared to manual scouting. The second case looks at a robotic weeding system for sugar beets, determining costs could be reduced 12-21% versus conventional weeding. The third analyzes an autonomous grass cutting robot for golf courses, calculating its total annual cost per hectare is €283, compared to using manual labor. Overall, the document finds agricultural robots can provide cost savings in various applications compared to traditional human-operated methods.

DRYFARMING AND DRYLAND AGRICULTURE
Dry farming is cultivation of crops in regions with annual rainfall less than 750 mm that require moisture conservation practices. About 70% of rural populations live in dry farming areas and depend on crop success or failure for their livelihood. Currently, dryland crops produce as much food as irrigated crops but from 3 times the land area. New strategies must be developed to make dryland ecosystems more productive and sustainable. The history of dryland agriculture began with early civilizations in places with reliable water supplies. Systematic dryland cultivation began around 1850 in areas like the USA and India. Over time, research stations were established and packages of practices were developed for different regions to improve dryland agriculture techniques.

Cash To Cashless Economy- Convenience and Impacts on Agriculture SectorAssociate Professor in VSB Coimbatore
This article explores the impact of cash to cashless economy on the agriculture sector of our country where 75% of the people directly or indirectly involved in agriculture business. In India the cashless economy was broke through on 8th November 2016 the exact day of Demonetization. As of now in urban and rural areasthere has been ample scope to initialize the digital platform among farmers. Cash to cashless economy has made many farmers to changeover to digital platforms like RML Ag tech, Agro star,agrihuba and Bighaat, which are the digital platforms, provides services and products to the farmers. Even though farmers can call the son of the soil, agriculture is considered to be the backbone of India,their situation is critical after demonetization. Since it‟s rendered the farmers incapable of purchasing seeds and fertilizers for their winter crops. Thus rather than analyzing the cash to cashless and its impact to the agrarian economy.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
