How Artificial Intelligence-Based Technologies Can Assist Farmers

#artificialintelligence

Agriculture Engineering and Technology interventions assisted farmers in ushering in the Green Revolution, which helped the country sail toward Food Security and become a net food surplus nation. Science advancements have continued to assist farmers in meeting challenges. With the advancement of Information Technology, Mobile Phones, GIS, Robotics, and now Artificial Intelligence, Agronomists and Scientists are becoming increasingly interested in addressing agricultural issues. With a huge amount of information supported by AI, on weather, prices of inputs, and Agri produce, farmers can plan field & soil preparation, place orders for the purchase of seeds and inputs, pick time window for crop sowing, harvesting, plan storage doe staggered supply of products in markets to benefit from market price discovery. The AI provides market insights that guide farmers' decisions, for example, consumers searching for millets will be interpreted as increasing demand for millets and farmers can take a cue to sow millets to reap profits instead of any other cereal or grain.
