E Agriculture: Digital Solutions for Smart Farming using GIS and RS
E-Agriculture is a technology-driven initiative designed to enhance agricultural productivity, efficiency, and sustainability through digital solutions. This project aims to integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into farming practices, enabling farmers to access real-time information, make data-driven decisions, and improve their overall yield. Objectives: To develop a digital platform that provides farmers with real-time weather updates, market prices, and best agricultural practices. To utilize Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing for precision farming and land management. To implement Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart irrigation and soil monitoring systems. To promote the use of AI and machine learning for crop disease prediction and pest management. To connect farmers with agricultural experts and market stakeholders through mobile applications and web-based platforms. Key Features: Farmer Advisory System: Provides expert recommendations on crop selection, pest control, and irrigation management. Market Information Portal: Updates farmers on real-time market prices, demand trends, and trading opportunities. Smart Irrigation System: Uses IoT sensors to monitor soil moisture and optimize water usage. Weather Forecasting Module: Alerts farmers about upcoming weather conditions to prevent crop damage. E-Commerce Integration: Enables farmers to sell their produce online directly to consumers or wholesalers.
