AI, Automation and Appetites: How Technology Will Feed the FutureCognizant
The document discusses how emerging technologies like AI, automation, and robotics are transforming the global food industry. A survey of 304 food industry leaders found that while over half say these technologies have transformed the industry, fewer see them as critical to their own company's survival.

Hi Tech Farming
Vikas Rai – Farm at Nihal Khera Village in Punjab Fazzilka
district
90 HP John Deere air-conditioned tractor, which he bought
in 2009 for Rs.18 lakh
Who rotates cotton and wheat on his 150 acres
He is now set to spend Rs. 25 lakh on a seed driller and a
sprayer
Even as neighbors opt for Rs. 60000 seed drills, Rai is going
to buy a Rs. 13 lakh Lemken, a German brand, after he sells
his wheat crop this April.
On one acre of land for cotton sowing, he is using four
packets of 500 grams of hybrid seed, with the new machine,
he only needs to use one packet, costing Rs.900-950 and
yielding 15 quintals per acre
21. 21
He’s targeting yields of 20quintals of wheat from an
acre
By using Lemken’s duck foot cultivator to prepare land
for sowing , he used 30% less diesel than his neighbors
at 4 liters an acre
Investing more than Rs.1crore on farm equipment
At 48 degrees Celsius in the firs week of May, it’s a joy
to cultivate land for cotton driving an AC tractor
He wears his best clothes when he goes to cultivate his
land, which only takes two hours unlike the previous
time of eight hours

The organic certifying agency, said the companies
involved in organic farming are mostly export
oriented. “The first type is of the traditional farmer
practicing organic farming to earn their bread and
butter. The second type is the increasing breed of
urban farmers, who have turned to growing organic
food as a passion or liking,”
Marketing is the biggest challenge
The most effective marketing channel is digital.

Aquaponics
Vijayakumar Narayanan, 40, - returned to his native
village in Kerala two years ago after spending
20years in various jobs in India and the Gulf, he
wasn’t too sure about what to do
Plunged into aquaponics - “Inspired from
hydroponics - Cultivation of plants without soil in
water often with the help of chemical nutrients”
Aquaponics - Combination of aqua culture and
hydroponics and use water rich in fish waste to
cultivate plants
This method is more organic in nature and doesn’t
involve the use of chemical nutrients
26. 26
Double guarantee for a farmer - income through
fish and vegetables
Though Aquaponics was practiced by the Aztecs in
Mexico thousands of years ago
The farmer can start with 500 kg of fish in a pond
with 10,000 litres of water in about half a cent in
the backyard. (1cent = 435sq ft.)
The investment will be around Rs.40,000/- to
Rs.50000/-
For commercial operations, a minimum of 4 cents is
needed, along with 5000 kg of fish and 50000 litres
of water and an investment of Rs.1.50-1.75lakh
Aquaponics
27. 27
Aquaponics
Investment can be recovered in the first six months
from the fish and vegetable harvests
Plants are grown on sheets of gravel laid on the
banks of the pond
Two pumps-one for blowing air into the pond and
the other for pumping water on the gravel where
plants are grown will have to be run continuously –
Electricity Cost
Subsidy for the electricity charge from Fish Farmers
Ammonia from the fish waste in the pond gets
converted into nitrites through bacterial action
28. 28
Aquaponics
Nitrates aid in plant development - Leafy vegetables
like broccoli, lettuce, spinach, palak, pudina are the
best, apart from tomato, lady’s finger and brinjal
In six months, one can get three harvests of leafy
green vegetables
Danger - The farmer needs to fear only airborne
pests since there’s no soil involved. These can be
dealt with using bio insecticides such as tobacco
juice
A farmer can easily get an income of Rs.4lakh or
more a year
