Description
Agriculture and food are very important and basic needs for humans. From ancient time human started to feed themselves with the help of grains and animal's products.

Farmers were using traditional methods for a long period to grow the crops, but these traditional methods are not enough to feed the growing population. AI and data driven approaches can help a lot modern agriculture sector by analyzing the data of soil quality, weather conditions, need of nutrients, pesticides and fertilizers. By collecting a large real time data with the help of sensors, drones and AI enabled machinery, can help a lot farmers to know the exact demand of crops as per the conditions. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
