A session on "Digitalization of Agriculture" at Entrepreneurship Conclave organized by Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.
Digital Agriculture can be defined as ICT and data ecosystems to support the development and delivery of timely, targeted (localized) information and services to make farming profitable and sustainable (socially, economically and environmentally) while delivering safe, nutritious and affordable food for ALL. Rural connectivity will be a key to providing low cost data and access to information. Digital technology will be key to increasing agriculture productivity by delivering tailored recommendations to farmers based on crop, planting date, variety sown; real time localized observed weather and projected market prices. Mobile phones also enable farmers to integrate into structured markets based on approved grades and standards. The greatest impact of Digital agriculture will have is on democratization of market pricing and compressing transaction costs. Digital agriculture will also leverage social media platforms to build human capacity. One of the best examples originating from India is Digital Green.
Indian agriculture: Mechanization to DigitizationICRISAT
India is characterized by small farm holdings. More than 80% of the land holdings are less than 2 ha (5 acres). About 55% of India’s population is engaged in Agriculture with 40% farm mechanization. Due to non-remunerative nature of farming, more than 50% farmers in India are in debt. This situation has constrained farmers from investing in mechanization and other technologies.

Artificial Intelligence In Agriculture & Its Status in IndiaJanhviTripathi
Worldwide, agriculture is a $5 trillion industry, and with the ever increasing population, the world will need to produce 50% more food by 2050 which cannot be accomplished with the percentage of land under cultivation. Factors such as climate change, population growth and food security concerns have propelled the industry into seeking more innovative approaches to protecting and improving crop yield. As a result, Artificial Intelligence is steadily emerging as part of the industry’s technological evolution which help can help farmers get more from the land while using resources more sustainably, yielding healthier crops, control pests, monitor soil, help with workload, etc

Presentation delivered by Deepak Pareek, CEO & Founder, MyCrop at BiharAgriTech Conference held on 16th December 2017 at Patna. The world is getting larger with the population growing by nearly 3 more people every second, which is 240,000 people a day. By 2025, the global population will reach 8 billion people and 9.6 billion by 2050. This means within one generation, there will be more people additionally on the planet than there were at the beginning of the
20th century. Feeding the growing world population poses an unprecedented challenge to human ingenuity. By 2050, food production must increase by 70% to keep pace.
Achieving the level of agricultural productivity necessary to meet the immensely risen world demand for food, fiber, and fuel by 2050 will be a challenge. Meeting this challenge is made even more daunting by a number of stringent constraints including environmental challenges and need to make benefits of development reach all. While Precision Agriculture has been in circulation for more than few decades but has been confined to the developed and the rich due to prohibitive cost and marginal value it brought to the table. Further complexity of the concept made it difficult or repulsive to smallholder farmers the core of agriculture ecosystem in developing the world.
Big Data technologies have suddenly changed this equation. The impact is so profound that Precision Agriculture which seemed to be the muse of the elite has suddenly become a rage for the underserved. This presentation takes you through a complete set of reasons and facts which are driving Big Data revolution in AgTech and the resulting adoption of Precision Agriculture by Smallholder farmers.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

WITH 0.8 BILLION PEOPLE ALREADY
HUNGRY WHILE 2 BILLION MORE WILL BE
ADDED BY 2050 AND ANOTHER 2 BILLION
BY 2100,

15. CLIMATE CHANGE
DEFORESTATION DUE TO UNSUSTAINABLE
FARMING IS CONSIDERED TO BE KEY DRIVER
BEHIND WORLD BECOMING LESS HABITABLE
WE ARE PASSING OUR NEXT
GENERATION FAR WORST THEN
WHAT WE INHERITED
16. AGRARIAN DISTRESS
SMALLHOLDER FARMERS ARE IN
ENORMOUS DISTRESS DUE TO UNVIABLE
OPERATIONS, LOW YIELD, UNSUSTAINABLE
FARMING
TODAY MOST FARMERS DON’T
WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO
CONTINUE FARMING
17. WE CAN TACKLE THESE
CHALLENGES
BY PRODUCING MORE FOOD WITH LESS

PROFITABLE FOR SMALL HOLDER
FARMERS

25. • IS THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIETAL EFFECTS OF DIGITIZATION AND
DIGITALIZATION.DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
• IS THE CONVERSION OF ANALOGUE DATA AND PROCESSES INTO A
MACHINE READABLE FORMAT.DIGITIZATION
• IS THE USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AND DATA AS WELL AS
INTERCONNECTION THAT RESULTS IN NEW OR CHANGES TO
EXISTING ACTIVITIES.
DIGITALIZATION
• ARE ICT, INCLUDING THE INTERNET, MOBILE, DEVICES, AND
DATA ANALYTICS USED TO IMPROVE THE GENERATION,
COLLECTION, EXCHANGE, AGGREGATION, ANALYSIS, ACCESS,
SEARCHABILITY AND PRESENTATION OF DIGITAL CONTENT.
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION – DEFINITION
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION HAS BEEN A STRONG THEME IN BOTH BUSINESS AND IT OVER THE PAST FIVE
YEARS AND OFTEN IS A TERM MISTAKENLY USED FOR ALMOST ANY KIND OF NEW TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION.
27. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION – AGRICULTURE
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN
AGRICULTURE IS NOT JUST ABOUT
TECHNOLOGY. WHILE SURELY IT IS
ENABLED BY TECHNOLOGY BUT THE
UNDERLYING FACT IS THAT IT
IMPACTS EVERY FUNCTION IN THE
AGRICULTURE ECOSYSTEM AND
NEEDS AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH
WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE
BOUNDARY OF BOTH ECOSYSTEM AS
WELL AS ORGANIZATIONS
PARTICIPATING IN THE ECOSYSTEM
TO YIELD ENVISIONED BENEFITS
28. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION –
HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR
AGRICULTURE SECTOR
THE DIGITIZED 21ST CENTURY
FARM IS BECOMING A REALITY AT
A RAPID PACE, THE $12 TRILLION
AGRIBUSINESS INDUSTRY
REMAINS IN INITIAL PHASE OF
ITS DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION.
THE NEXT PHASE WILL CONNECT
INDIVIDUAL TECHNOLOGY
PRODUCTS AND THE DATA THEY
GENERATE INTO A HIGHLY
INTEGRATED, EASY TO USE
NETWORK OF INFORMATION,
TOOLS, SYSTEMS AND SOLUTIONS
TO GENERATE BETTER TANGIBLE
RESULTS FOR THE FARMER, AS
WELL AS FOR THE BROADER
AGRICULTURE ECOSYSTEM.
INDUSTRY LEADERS ACROSS THE
AGRICULTURE VALUE CHAIN ARE
FORMING COMPREHENSIVE
DIGITAL STRATEGIES TO WIN
MIND SHARE, AND WALLET
SHARE, OF BOTH THE FOOD
GROWERS AND FOOD
CONSUMERS. THESE STRATEGIES
NEED TO DELIVER THE HOLISTIC,
OUTCOME-BASED SOLUTIONS
THAT OUR GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEM
NEED.
30. DIGITIZATION THE WAY FORWARD
THE IMMENSE AMOUNTS OF AGRONOMIC DATA
OFFER INSIGHT, UNDERSTANDING, AND QUICK
LEARNINGS. DIGITAL FARMING IS PARTICULARLY
REVOLUTIONARY FOR SMALLHOLDERS AS IT HAS
THE POTENTIAL TO REMOVE THE CURRENT
INFORMATION ASYMMETRY.
TO BENEFIT FROM THE NEW DIGITAL FARMING
FRAMEWORK, CERTAIN KEYWORDS ARE ALWAYS
APPLICABLE: LOCAL, RELEVANT, AND PERSONAL.
NEW TECHNOLOGIES CAN ALIGN WITH THIS
FRAMEWORK. CONNECTING LARGE-SCALE
COMPANIES (BOTH INPUT AND OUTPUT) WITH
LOCAL FARMERS WILL BE MADE POSSIBLE WITH
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES. HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO
TRULY FACILITATE DIGITAL FARMING, THE
FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION THAT MUST ALWAYS BE
ADDRESSED IS “WHY?”
34. UNDERSTANDING BIG DATA
PETABYTES, EXABYTES, ZETABYTES OF DATA
WHERE VOLUMES TOO GREAT FOR TYPICAL DBMS
MASSIVE SETS OF UNSTRUCTURED/SEMI-
STRUCTURED DATA I.E. TEXT, IMAGES, VIDEOS
RAPID GENERATION OF TIME SERIES DATA I.E.
PROCESS MONITORING DATA, WEATHER STREAM,
SENSOR I/O, SATELLITE IMAGES
VELOCITY
VOLUME
36. BIG DATA IS A BIG OPPORTUNITY
BIG DATA IS A BIG DEAL. MORE THAN HALF OF
ENTERPRISES GLOBALLY VIEW BIG DATA AS AN
OPPORTUNITY AND PLAN TO INCREASE THEIR
INVESTMENTS IN BIG DATA IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
BUT BIG DATA’S VALUE DOESN’T COME FROM THE
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION; THAT’S JUST THE
STARTING POINT. THE REAL VALUE OF BIG DATA COMES
FROM YOUR ABILITY TO COMBINE AND ANALYZE IT – NO
MATTER HOW MUCH YOU HAVE, IN ANY NUMBER OF
SOURCES – TO UNCOVER NEW INSIGHTS THAT DRIVE
BUSINESS VALUE.
BIG DATA MAY MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT
BUSINESSES – WHETHER IT’S DEALING WITH NEW TYPES
OF DATA, STREAMING, OR CONSOLIDATING EXISTING
DATA THAT’S TOO LARGE TO FIT ON TRADITIONAL
SYSTEMS. BUT NO MATTER HOW YOU DEFINE BIG DATA,
THE CHALLENGE AND THE GOAL ARE THE SAME FOR
EVERY BUSINESS: GETTING THE MOST VALUE OUT OF IT.
37. DATA DELUGE ENABLING PRECISION AGRICULTURE
PRECISION AGRICULTURE
DEMONSTRATES THAT IT IS
POSSIBLE TO GENERATE A LOT OF
DATA VIA FARMING MACHINERY
AND COMBINE IT WITH
GEOSYSTEMS, DRONES, SENSORS
AND SATELLITES, MAKING IT
POSSIBLE TO SUPPORT
OPERATIONAL FARMING WITH
LOCATION-SPECIFIC DATA TAGS.
SMART FARM EQUIPMENT ALONG
WITH BIG

46. BLOCKCHAIN IS NOT BITCOIN
BUT ITS ORIGINS LIE IN BITCOIN, MAKING IT A 10 YEAR OLD TESTED TECHNOLOGY.
BITCOIN WAS DEVELOPED AS CRYPTOCURRENCY - A TECHNOLOGICAL ALTERNATIVE TO FIAT CURRENCIES
(DOLLAR, EURO, POUND).AN ANONYMOUS “BANK OF THE INTERNET”.
FINITE NUMBER OF BITCOINS SUPPOSEDLY PROVIDES GOLD-STANDARD TYPE GUARANTEE AGAINST INFLATION.
BITCOIN DEPENDS ON THE BITCOIN BLOCKCHAIN TO FUNCTION AND ALL BITCOIN TRANSACTIONS ARE
RECORDED ON THE BITCOIN BLOCKCHAIN.
THE BLOCKCHAIN IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE UPON WHICH BITCOIN RESTS, EVERY 10 MIN A NEW BLOCK IS ADD
BY “MINERS” (WHO CONSUME HUGE AMOUNTS OF ENERGY).
47. BLOCKCHAIN, A DISTRIBUTED LEDGER TECHNOLOGY
A BLOCKCHAIN IS SIMPLY
DATABASE BUT
• DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE NETWORK
(INTERNET) - EVERYONE HAS A COPY
• AUTO-SYNCED - EVERY COPY IS THE
SAME ALMOST INSTANTLY
• ENCRYPTED - ALL BLOCKS ARE
ENCRYPTED WITH PRIVATE KEYS
• IMMUTABLE - NO TRANSACTION CAN
BE DELETED
• COMMONLY OPEN AND PUBLIC -
EVERYONE (AUTHORISED) CAN ADD
• CONSENSUS BASED - ENSURES ONLY
ONE VERSION OF THE TRUTH
48. HISTORY OF BIGGEST DISRUPTION AFTER INTERNET
ON OCTOBER 31, 2008, SATOSHI NAKAMOTO RELEASED THE BITCOIN WHITE PAPER OUTLINING A PURELY
PEER TO PEER ELECTRONIC CASH/DIGITAL ASSET TRANSFER SYSTEM. THIS IS THE FIRST POPULAR
IMPLEMENTATION OF BLOCKCHAIN AND IS ATTRIBUTED AS BIRTHING TODAY’S BLOCKCHAIN INDUSTRY.
SINCE THEN, ADDITIONAL BLOCKCHAINS HAVE BEEN POPULARIZED INCLUDING SMART CONTRACT
TECHNOLOGY, ETHEREUM.
