Digital farming
Today the agricultural sector is in turmoil. Many are moving away from farming. Many problems in lending to farmers. Agriculture is seen by banks as an uncertain profession. What should be the result? What starts with the fact that sowing is profitable, yielding and eventually yielding the product at a minimum price. Enough is enough before selling. It seems certain that modern technology will help farmers to start cultivating, protecting the crop, and marketing the product without the hassle of intermediaries. Before we learn how the digital sector can help agriculture, let's take a look at Kerala fishermen. Fishing is an important socio-economic industry in Kerala and many fishermen depend on it for their livelihood. The problems that existed were similar problems for farmers. But when the fisherman got the cell phone in his hand, he solved many problems. Yes. Kerala
It is not enough for fishermen to catch fish and sell it for a good profit. Intermediaries The problem is different. Fish cannot be kept for long. So the level at which you have to sell for whatever price you get when you get ashore. But when the cell phone arrived, they slowly contacted the nearby markets. Began to take. Thus immediately, a different town Know what the demand is in the markets and how much the price is going to be. They calculated the cost of transportation to the city where the market was and decided whether it would be profitable for them. Thus slowly Fishing was profitable for the fishermen. Cheating with local intermediaries is also minimal. They set the price according to the demand and saw good profit. This Cash flow also brought good improvement in their social life. Mobile phones in the life of Kerala fishermen Many began to look forward to this positive change. The effect is why we do it in agriculture The work of digital farming is going well so as not to bring. With the advent of digital, There are many benefits to farmers.
Information:
They need a lot of information regarding agriculture. There are so many problems in getting them. Distribute this information digitally to farmers Easy to add. How to cultivate? What medicine, how much to bet? They can get information about climate change, government offers, bank loans, and many more through their mobile phones. Crop Market them after the result and by knowing the prices they rise to the level of bargaining. Digital here is not just a service but the content of many tools. Crop protection will be ensured by modern equipment. Thus causing crop damage Is blocked. Let us now look in detail at how digital can help farmers. The main reason for the biggest leap of the 21st century That’s that all departments are digital. That too Digital-first became possible in the middle of the 21st century when computers began to evolve. It Then integrates the most distant computers Introduced as ‘Internet’ technology. On the other hand, modern inventions in the field of telecommunications are slow
The technology of wireless communications has evolved. The modern communication technology we enjoy now until the 1970s is a dream come true. That's when Intel invented computer chips. Credit communication of these ‘chips’ Technology has driven the biggest leap. Chips first came into computers. Then as each device, The chips began to enter. Today, in our home, chips have arrived in many of the devices we use every day, that is, the digital hub. Will these digital tools help in agriculture when everything changes? Yes, the result of this thinking is the birthplace of digital agriculture. Digital farming is possible
The most important reason is mentioned as 3As. They are
1. Affordability - Available at a cheaper price
2. Accessibility - Easy to access
3. Adaptability -Adaptation
1. Affordability - Available at a cheaper price
We must first understand about farmers. The one who cultivates on 100 acres is the farmer and the one who cultivates on 1 acre is the farmer. If the farmer Does not think of owning land, for lease some take land and cultivate it. The next farmers' income is inferior. And permanent No. Many times farmers have to borrow and just invest. Next to the farmer's Money does not come easily. Bank loans Receiving and receiving government concessions is horse horn. So we hear that many farmers are falling victim to usury. So they are expensive if you want to go and join a tech farmer first Should be less. For example a cell phone 50 thousand to do digital farming
The rupee is something many poor farmers in the country cannot even imagine. So digital farming will become impossible across the country. But today as far as the digital sector is concerned a farmer Whether he has a cell phone or a smartphone, offers a wide variety of digital farming services. Can be obtained very easily. Today cell phone, a smartphone is available very cheaply. Many people have at least one cell phone. Is it enough to get a cell phone at a low price? Should its service charge be lower? Today in India cell phone service charges and huge internet charges through cell phones are available at very low prices. This is the potential story of digital agriculture.
2. Accessibility - Easy to access
Everything if you get a cell phone at a low price Is it over? Do telecommunication 'towers' really need that cell phone service? Signal What's the point of not having a cell phone? Next, shouldn't that signal be available uniformly all the time? The monsoon season is the most important period for agriculture Would the technology be useful if the signal was not available at that time? This is the problem with access. But today with the help of many governments and private services cell phones, and the Internet similar to it The service has also progressed quite wonderfully. This is another reason why digital farming is possible. Access is not just about the service, but also the tools involved. Imagine a farmer in a small village next to Madurai coming to Chennai to buy a cell phone
Keep in mind that this is how big the problem is. Here we refer to access, purchase of a tool, repair of it, and the service attached to it As many should be easily accessible to him. Recharge every village today Convenient to do. If you can go to a nearby town and buy a cell phone digital This is another possibility as the service has become easier for a farmer to access.
3. Adaptability
Someone has a watch he gets in town, and he has the money to buy it. Now tell me will the benefit of the clock go to him? The same question applies to digital, and a farmer needs to understand it to get digital service, Use, for that he must change. This means more to him than the old method if he has to adapt which means he has to switch to the new thing The new system should be even easier. Companies coming forward to provide digital agricultural services should take this into account. Many farmers in India are lagging behind in education Education will be a barrier to using many services, then they will find it difficult to adapt to this problem many companies today are solving. Example: A service of digital agriculture that conveys multiple agricultural information through cell phone messages. Maybe if the farmers were illiterate? No problem. The same information was conveyed to them by the recorded voice Make a 'Call' and report. Thus creating services that enable farmers to access digital technologies without fear.
