This document discusses current trends in agriculture, including artificial intelligence, vertical farming, hydroponics, and the use of technology. It introduces concepts like using AI to detect pests and diseases early, growing crops vertically with 70-95% less water, and hydroponics which can increase yields 3-4 times in the same space using 90% less water. In conclusion, modern agricultural techniques help farmers better monitor individual crop and animal needs, automate irrigation and harvesting, and use drones to save time spent sowing, while agriculture continues to drive development in rural areas.

4. INTRODUCTION:
 Agriculture [Ager + cultura = Field + culture​]
 Agriculture is arts & science of cultivating soil,
producing crops & raising livestock for business.​
Traditional agriculture Modern agriculture

5. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:
 Automated farming activities.
 Identification of pest and diseases outbreak
before occurrence.
 Detecting weeds.

6. VERTICAL FARMING:
 It allow to produce crops
with 70-95% less water than
require for normal
cultivation.
 Dickson Despommier is
the father of vertical
farming.

7. HYDROPONICS:
 Up to 90% more efficient
use of water.
 Production increase 3-4
times in the same amount
of space.
William Frederick
Gericke is the father of
hydroponic.

8. Types of hydroponics :

9. APPLICATION:
Automatic spraying.
Aerial survey imaging.
Agriculture robotics.
Drone.
ADVANTAGES:
 Higher yield.
 Weeding can be easily
eliminated.
 Lower water use.
 Fresh produce grown
much closer to where
it eaten.
DISADVANTAGES:
High initial costs.
High operation cost.
Very high demand
for energy.
Problems affect
plants quicker.

10. CONCLUSION:
 The modern agriculture enable the farmer to
better moniter the needs of individual crops
& animals.
 Automatic in irrigation farm machinery and
harvesting further easy for farming
operation's while minimizing losses.
 Drones save time spent on sowing.
 Agriculture is the main driver of development
in most rural area's.
