Smart Farming

Smart Farming is a farming management concept using modern technology to increase the quantity and quality of agricultural produce. The farmers in this century have access to modern-day technologies like GPS, soil monitoring, and IoT technologies. On similar principle, using Smart Farming techniques, farmers can better monitor the needs of the livestock and manage their nutrition.

An information and technology-based farm management system identifies, analyses and manages variability in fields by conducting crop production practices at the right place and time and in the right way, for optimum profitability, sustainability and protection of the land resource, but in India, one major problem is that more half of operational holdings in the country have size less than 1 Ha (hectare), except Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana and Gujarat where more than 20% of the agricultural lands have an operational holding size of more than 4 Ha.

The recent innovation technologies based on sustainable agriculture and healthy food production consists of profitability and increasing production, economic efficiency and the reduction of side effects on the environment.

Researches suggest educational and economic challenges are most important in the application of these practices. The variables that contribute to educational challenges, lack of local experts, funds, knowledgeable research and extension personnel have more of an impact compared to others.

Renew Life Renew Vision

Something what the whole mankind is in consensus, is the fact that renewable resources are the need of the hour. As a counter thought, with the expectations with non-renewable resources, the thoughtless cohesion of the consequences can be dangerous for the environment. That is why it is paramount to understand how adoption of a renewable resource, say solar energy will pan out.

One of the most significant benefits in the consumption of solar energy or for that matter, most renewable resources, lies in that fact that it cuts down overall costs considerably, while also saving the environment from multiple levels of pollution (like pollution in air, water, noise, etc.). It also benefits the economic and ecological conditions.

Solar energy, unlike traditional resources of electricity, is affordable as well as environment-friendly. Solar energy can bring down the cost of getting electric power by as much as one-fourth of today's burden in another half-a-decade. By judicious policy making, meticulous planning, and optimal consumption, the cost can also be reduced by almost 60%.

With the use of solar energy, you will be self-sufficient. With solar energy, you can use electrical energy as you want. You do not have to depend upon commercial or government setups to provide you with electricity.
