Good morning guys ...
Today I am here to present on the topic which
affects each and everyone - the future of food and environment ....
With growing population we need to find new ways to increase oru
productivity without harming oru planet ... Here technology plays the
crucial role ...
Now let's explore how technology helps in sustainable farming
SLIDE 2
Let us start with the demerits of traditional farming ....1. lower
productivity for the growing population
2.usage of chemicals and excessive use of water
3.massive greenhouse gas emissions
Which finally results in chemical flushed foods , soil degradation...

Technology driven sustainable farming has many methods
1.precision farming
Use of drones, IOT sensors or gps
Through this one can monitor the health of crop , water level ,
moisture and soil conditions
2.useage of IOT
monitors climatic conditions
Raises Emergency alerts regarding the disease affected plants or
drought
3.usage of drones and satellite image
Can be used to spray chemicals where ever needed with precision.
Predict the yield and plant conditions...
4.data analytics
This can be used by farmers to find the market trend and understand
the weather pattern and yearly production...
Use of automated robots for weeding and harvesting making the job
ease ..

We all may have a doubt whether this would be successful one
Absolutely yesss... As world 2nd largest food exporter netherlands
has been using tech based agriculture for many years ... And our
country has created apps to help our farmers and improve
agriculture and countries like Japan and china has introduced
automated robots to help the farmers in weeding and harvesting

Now let us look on the challenges to address :
1 . High initial cost for implementation and further research purpose
2.Lack of digital literacy among rural farmers
3.Need of government policies or subsides to support tech based
farming
4.potential risk of Ai and robot in replacing some human works
I would like to conclude that addressing all the challenges with
proper care can develop farming to next level and boost our country
's economy in food sector...Technology is not a luxury but a necessity
for the sustainable agriculture
With Innovation , education and technology we can feed the world
responsibly ....
Thank you
