Artificial Intelligence for Smart Farming: A review

Abstract

Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy. The FAO noted that the world population would increase by another two billion in 2050 while more land under crop production will only report to four per cent at that time. During such conditions, sustainable agricultural systems and practices can be done b y adopting the advanced as well as modified technologies to solve the present barriers of agriculture and allied sectors. Automation in agriculture is an emerging subject across the world. In recent, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been seeing a lot of direct applications in agriculture. Using AI for the precision farming we canintroduce new farm technologies to reduce profit loss of farming community. The Indian farming faces numerous obstacles for the growing of crops and marketing of produce i.e. manage ment of disease and pest infestation, soil analysis, irrigation, drainage, transportation, marketing etc. Such type problems lead to unnecessary environmental conditions and more farmer’s loss as a result of using excess chemicals. This paper emphasizes ap plications of Artificial Intelligence in different domains of agricultural practices and the problems to adopting AI in agriculture..
