Artificial Intelligence and Its Role in India’s Agricultural Development

Abstract

Agriculture is one of the oldest and most important occupation in the world, with food demand and work demand increasing as the world population continues to grow. The traditional farming methods cannot satisfy the requirements of billions of people worldwide on food demands and provide jobs, so new automated ways are developed. Smart farming, or the application of intelligent farming processes, including connecting farm machinery, sensors, actuators, and software is being researched and developed for improving quality and production output of agricultural products. Farmers apply pesticides to growing areas in greenhouses or open fields to enhance yield. Machine learning may also be used by farmers. AI also helps with pest management and crop protection, such as treating weeds, pests, and diseases more accurately and timely, using artificial intelligence solutions such as precision spraying methods or self-governing drones for monitoring, reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides and keeping ecological balance. This will lead sustainability growth in the field of Agriculture in the forthcoming years.
