“Big data for all”, can it help improve agricultural productivity?
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.

You've all heard the horror stories: kids going blind for lack of vitamin A, millions stunted by lack of micronutrients, rich country food deserts forcing the poor to eat junk food... It don't have to be this way! Malnutrition is not a curse. It's not even that difficult to fix. And trees are very good friends if you want to fix it!

HIGH-THROUGHPUT PHENOTYPING METHODS FOR ECONOMIC TRAITS and DESIGNER PLANT TY...Komal Kute
A growing world population is expected to cause a "perfect storm" of food, feed, and biofuel. Under the climate change scenario, it is a challenge for agricultural scientists to ensure food and nutritional security for an ever-increasing population with limited and rapidly depleting resources. However, researchers are now observing that conventional breeding methods will not be sufficient to meet projected future demands for foods. To overcome these constraints, plant breeding has evolved over the past two decades towards a much closer integration of high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) tools and technologies.
The "phenotyping revolution" targets extremely precise and accurate measurements of very specific traits in large populations in the field. Sorghum breeding is not new to this advancement, which obviously implies significant shifts in the breeding programs. First, it indicates breeders integrate trait assessment with traditional yield and agronomic evaluation, emphasising that breeding programmes are opened up to new or other disciplines. It additionally requires that these new or other disciplines think about and conceptualise their own actions and orientations from the perspective of how they may fit into a breeding methodology. In this instance, the four primary sorghum breeding domains—staying green and transpiration limitation under high vapour pressure deficit (VPD); nodal root angle and depth; grain mineral content (Fe, Zn); and grain and stover quality traits—are tightly correlated with HTP. These ongoing initiatives focus on value of the particular trait and why it is considered by breeders; how it is measured with HTP approaches (method, throughput, cost, simplicity) and finally, how these traits are currently being embedded in the breeding program. Through various research, it became evident there are several other avenues of technology that, although not yet routinely implemented, could bring about a major benefit to the breeding programme’s endeavour to increase the rate of genetic gains. Here, we discuss the use of drone imaging for yield trial quality control and pinpoint plot heterogeneity, the integration of quality analysis into the assessment of agronomic traits in the field, and the use of X-ray spectroscopy to assess grain or crop architecture traits.
To help reaching the Sustainable Development Goals, CGIAR must tap into Big Data. Within the programme on Climate Change for Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), researchers have already applied Big Data analytics to agricultural and weather records in Colombia, revealing how climate variation impacts rice yields. After defining its Open Data-Open Access strategy, CGIAR has launched an internal call for proposals for big data analytics platforms that will provide services to the Agri-Food system programmes and parners, and will interconnect the CGIAR data to other multi-disciplinary big data. The seminar will present the pespectives of the envisioned platforms.

Abstract Summary:
Precision agriculture – Predicting outcomes for farmers using machine learning to help feed the world:
Agricultural data is vast, often unstructured and includes many challenges when working with legacy farm systems on premise in rural areas. For instance, traditional farm equipment such as tractors, sprayers, and combines aren’t often from the same vendor, and it’s complex moving data between them. This is further complicated with the vast array of other systems used by our farmers. Furthermore, the number of sensors in agriculture is astonishing, whether it is sensors that measure the gait of the cow walking into the dairy parlor, or chickens that are pecking. All this data needs to turn into usable information on a global scale to improve the yields farmers get and provide greater visibility into what’s going on both in and out of the farm. In this session, a case study will be shared on how data was collected, normalized and analyzed leveraging the open source HPCC Systems platform from remote Farm Management Systems (used by farmers to manage their farms), and when merged with weather data, soil data and actual machinery data, the analyzed predictions is used to feed Agronomists and Crop Protection/Seed Manufacturers to get recommendations back. The goal is to deliver a precision agriculture solution, helping farmers increase their yield, which then helps feed the growing population of the world.

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
