- 3. What is SmartFarming? ◦ Smart Farming is an emerging concept that refers to managing farms using modern Information and Communication Technologies. ◦ Technologies like IoT, robotics, drones and AI are used to increase the quantity and quality of products.
- 4. Why Smart Farming? ◦Smart farming solutions work through sensors. ◦ Easy to monitor various conditions like soil moisture, water level, light, humidity ◦ It works by combining sensors, motion detectors, camera, and wearable devices. ◦ In Smart Farming system you have 100% insight and control of your farm 24/7.
- 5. How Smart Farmingmade? • Sensors: soil, water, light, humidity, temperature management • Software: specialized software solutions that target specific farm types or Applications agnostic IOT Platform. • Connectivity: Cellular, LoRa, etc. • Location: GPS, Satellite, etc. • Robotics: Autonomous tractors, processing facilities, etc. • Data analytics: standalone analytics solutions, data pipelines for downstream solutions, etc.
- 6. IOT in Agriculture ◦IOT has many applications in agriculture, smart Cities, smart home, healthcare, business sectors, Traffic monitoring, etc. ◦ This is a growing mega trend that will influence everything from businesses to our daily personal lives. ◦ Here we are mainly focusing on agriculture as it plays a vital role in development of our country’s economy.
- 7. IOT APPLICATION INAGRICULTURE Crop water management Pest management and control works Precision agriculture Food production and safety etc.
- 8. Crop Water Management ◦Usually the farmer pumps the water more or less to cultivate the land. ◦ This may result in wastage of water or insufficiency to the crops. ◦ Sends an alerting message to the farmer when the moisture level increases or decreases. ◦ A soil moisture sensor can be used to detect the moisture level
- 9. Pest Management AndControl Works ◦ Often farmers hardwork are destroyed by predators(pests) that results in huge loss to farmers. ◦ To prevent such situation pest management has a system that detects the motion of predators using PIR sensors. ◦ This information can be used to reduce damage done by predators.
- 10. Traditional farming Smartfarming Same set of practices for cultivation of a crop throughout the region Each farm is analysed to see the suitable crops and water requirements for optimization Manual maintenance of all the field and finance data separately leading to errors Field and finance data available in same place showing the profits, yields and patterns with simple reports. Application of fertilizers and pesticides throughout the field Early detection and application at the affected region only, saving costs Geo-tagging and zone detection not possible Satellite imagery detects the different zones in farms No way to predict weather Weather analysis and prediction
- 11. Vertical Farming ◦ Verticalfarming is the practice of growing crops in vertically stacked layers. ◦ Crops are grown indoors, under artificial conditions of light and temperature. ◦ It aims at higher productivity in smaller spaces.
- 12. Advantages ◦ Consistent cropproduction ◦ Uses Space Optimally. ◦ Reduces Usage of Water ◦ Less Labour Costs ◦ Energy Efficient ◦ Large produce ◦ Reduce use of pesticides and chemicals
- 15. Facts ◦ India isthe biggest producer of milk. ◦ Sikkim is the first state in the world that claimed 100% organic farming. ◦ Bananas are the 4th largest crop after wheat, rice, and corn. India is the biggest producer of bananas than any other country. ◦ Nothing can be injected into the fruits and vegetables post-harvest. ◦ Today, India ranks second in the world in farm output 64% of cultivated land dependent on monsoons.
