Agriculture 4.0 || How Tech is Changing the Face of Agriculture

Introduction

As a technology Student , We are always taught about new innovations and revolutionizing ideas in every aspects and fields of life.

It can be either medical ,dentistry ,civilization ,governmental, journal or agriculture purposes.

We are always asked to make and work on new technologies which can be assets for humans.

This is what Technology is truly about. Helping in every need of a human, managing time, giving quick answers and many many more.

How technology Relates with Agriculture

There has been great advancement in agriculture which shows that not only does we need technology for computer or operational purposes but also for agricultures perspectives and aspects.

Agriculture is an important source for our food. Most of the food we consume ,eat irrespective of junk or healthy are directly related to farming and agriculture.
The field of technology which is directly or indirectly related to technology is known as AGROTECHNOLOGY.

Drones:

The technology advancement in the field of agriculture is the development of drones to capture the view of the entire area.

Through focused capturing of the entire area we can tell if there are any insects or animal hidden and providing harm to the crops.

Drones are made by the manufacturers and engineers but the programming and information provided to it is the work of the programmers and coders.

Data Science And Deep Learning In Agriculture:

I have passion and interest for data science and its analytics.

Data Analytics are people who provide insights about the data provide to them. In this case it is all of the data of the crops which is provided to the Analysts to perform operations and seek for insights.

Insights are all of the meaningful information which can tell us something we didn't really know about the data provided.

In Businesses it is an important aspect . But now as world is evolving, for agriculture, I think It can provide knowledge about the crops being affected and not taken care off, or the crops which are about to get rotten or affected. And this is where Deep learning comes into play.

Through meaningful projects , a click of the camera can tell whether the crop is affected or is about to be affected or not. It can also give information about the level of ph it has, the soil issues affecting it or not , the insects affecting it or not and hence anything related to it.

Iot and Android Application:

Android Application and IOT devices are made to help measure the soil , the water usage, the water consumption needed for the entire field, the type of soil.

Android or any IDE based Apps can tell the amount of climate changes which are affecting or will be affecting the crops and the field . The amount of crops affected and how to cop with it and if there are any chances of saving any area or field which is already affected.

A lot of Apps can predict now , so using them for agriculture purposes can be an asset and quite helpful for workers and farmers.

Machinery And Robotics:

Although robots is quite expensive. But if purchased can give a life long advantage to both the supplier and the consumer.

Machinery and Robotics are again latest advancement of technology. It is already being used in industries and factories where they is a lot of data and items to be operated.

Even most countries use it for agriculture as well. But I think that using big big machinery for Agriculture can be very very helpful for farmers and workers. The amount of time and labor they have to give will be completely finished.

It is senseless to think that Machinery can replace workers. This isn't the case. A machine can be helpful for 1000 to more types of item ,it can perform a single takes. Every machine is designed to perform a single task.

There are a lot of procedures a farmer has to go through ,to make the perfect crop or field which is needed and required.

And not all procedure requires machines , some works can only be done handily. Like the removal of dead fruits, only a farmer can see and remove them from the area.

Although now we can apply AI to the code and machines and even a machine is able to do soo. But it is quite expensive and not always easy to afford.

Conclusion

Technology is playing a crucial role in every field. It has replace amounts of load and save a lot of time.

We human need food to live , it is a source of energy for us. Advancement in agriculture is the best thing any country or place can do for its civilians.

But it is not easy to do soo. It is quite expensive and requires a separate struggle to learn the technology use and know how.

I think an awareness is important which I have provided in this post. As a tech student i will try to relate technology with agriculture.
