This document discusses connecting agriculture through internet of things technologies. It begins by outlining the global challenges facing food production, including needing to increase output 50% by 2025 and double it by 2050 while using fewer resources. It then discusses opportunities in India's agricultural industry and the need for modernization. The document proposes a solution involving connecting farmers to information and supply chains through wireless sensors, monitoring, and decision support tools. It outlines the technical architecture and business models and discusses implementation challenges in collaborating with partners and addressing issues like electricity and connectivity in rural areas.

The Global Foodand Agriculture System The 21st Century Challenges: • Feed a growing, more prosperous world – and hopefully better than we have in the past • Increase food output 50% by 2025 • More than double by 2050 • Contribute to national energy security in many countries • Preserve/enhance the environment • Maintain the rural cultural heritage With these constraints: • While using the same or fewer resources • And, do this against t he backdrop of global climate change!

- 7. Indian agriculture Industry Indiais known as the ‘Land of Agriculture’ which has many traditions and even a large variety of cultures. Approximately 70% of the Indian population are connected with agriculture and its related activities. India ranks first in the production of sugarcane and second in the production of rice in the world. Apart from these, many other cereals, tea, coffee etc. add to the agricultural output from India. Spices are also well known worldwide from the incredible India.
- 8. Modern Indian Agriculture ModernIndia implements new techniques in agriculture to increase the quantity and quality of the yield. Many agricultural products are exported on large basis worldwide which add to the economy of India. New modern farm machinery and financial schemes are provided by the government to encourage agriculture in the rural areas of the nation.
- 9. Agriculture has alwaysbeen a major occupation of the population and hence it has a major contribution to the economy of the nation. The variety of soils have been a plus point which has made production of a variety of grains and spices possible.

Growing resource constraints •Much of world’s total arable area already in use – the most fertile requiring least investment • Most remaining land has serious soil and terrain constraints • Some covered in forests, in protected areas • Characteristics difficult for agriculture – low soil fertility, high toxicity, hilly and other difficult terrain – human and animal disease, poor infrastructure • Most located in Africa and Latin America (70% suffers soil and terrain constraints) • Further expansion is controversial – could jeopardize fragile lands • Will require considerable capital investment Source: Food and Agricultural Organization of united nations Produce more with less… Land | Water | Labor
