Artificial Intelligence (AI) Based Smart Agriculture for Sustainable Development

Abstract

Agriculture plays a significant role in the economic growth and development. Over the years, AI-based technological improvements have profoundly impacted farming and transformed the business. These technologies could help farmers to be proactive rather than reactive in their farming practices. These technologies allow farmers to boost agricultural yield, soil analysis, pest attack monitoring, water management, seed management, crop rotation, better control of harvesting conditions and timing, nutrition management, and reduced waste. However, in order to reap all these benefits, effective collaboration between Government, science, and business is also vital. This article attempts to outline the significant AI based smart agricultural technologies, their significance and the challenges confronting Indian agriculture with potential solutions.
