Smart Agriculture

In a seed funding round led by Unicorn India Ventures, Verdant Impact raised $3 million, which it intends to spend on scaling its team, breaking into the North and North-East Indian markets, integrating blockchain, and advancing its Pashu.AI platform. Infynyte Club, Yash Kotak, Alok Soni, and a-IDEA NAARM make up the other investors from the round.

Every year, farmers work for months under the sun, investing their time, money, and effort to grow crops that feed the nation. But after harvesting, a painful reality unfolds a significant portion of onions and tomatoes never reach the market. Instead, they silently rot inside storage warehouses.

A developer named Martin Devido took a different approach and experimented with an idea in which an AI named Claude was given full responsibility to take care of a tomato plant without any human intervention or support. Ever thought it was possible? The results now give the answer as “Yes”, because the AI has taken care of the tomato plant for the past 38 days without any human support.

Tiny robotic insects to enhance agricultural productivity; that is the vision behind the creation of robotic pollinators by MIT researchers. This can be useful for pollinating plants in controlled environments such as in vertical farming and multilevel farms. This innovative idea can reduce the impact of traditional farming and improve productivity.

Inspired by the anatomy of real…

Animal intrusion is a significant issue in many rural and agricultural areas, especially those near forests or wildlife reserves. Animals like elephants, wild boars and other large wildlife often wander into farms or villages, causing damage to crops, property and sometime even leading to human-animal conflicts. To address this issue, there is a need for a reliable, automated system that can…

For this contest, I want to build something around edge AI and IoT. I also want this to tackle a real-world problem and be relevant to my interest i.e. IoT. So, I'm relating the theme to my interest in developing an Intelligent Farming System Using IoT and Edge AI, which can help solve the real-world problem of wasteful…

For this IoT & Edge AI project challenge I want to make a project for the farmers cause India is a country where most of the people are depended on the farming so to make their life easy and encourage them towards getting more yield so that’s why I come up with this idea.

Here is my project Advanced Automated Farm, as in its name…

In this project, we'll explore an IoT-based irrigation system using the ESP32 board and Blynk app. It's a project based on the Internet of Things (IoT), the smart irrigation system offers numerous possibilities to automate the entire irrigation process. Here, we're creating a plot-based smart irrigation system using the ESP32 Controller, a soil moisture sensor, a…

Being an Urban Planning professional and electronics hobbyist always found challenges whenever I had to design a Water Management Plan for cities or town. A huge volume of water is used for outdoor-use demand which is used for watering the garden and lawn for Residential areas and also for parks and grounds of hospital, railway yard, Airport. As much as 50…

Digi-Key Electronics announced that it has launched a new video series focused on smart agriculture, sponsored by Supplyframe and Amphenol RF. The video series, titled “Farm Different” is a three-part series focused on the people, technology, and challenges of modern agriculture.

“We’re excited to share these important perspectives and insights from…
