India has used traditional methods of agriculture for generations, but with 1.4 billion people now dependant on the crops farmers produce, some are turning to technology to boost productivity and profit.
For example on one vineyard, sensor devices are being used to check weather and soil health.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can then figure out when it’s time to water the crops, add fertiliser and tackle pests.
Nitin Patil, who works at the vineyard, says the AI advice has helped “save 50% of the water” the farm had been using previously.

Guys soil knows how much weed to grow and manages it's deficiency. Only thing we need to do is just plant a sapling avoid direct sunlight on soil and don't interfere. We don't need all this. Just allow the farm land to create its own eco system
It’s amazing to see AI transforming farming in India! 🇮🇳🌾 Platforms like SmythOS are helping farmers access AI tools to boost productivity and sustainability. Excited to see how these advancements shape the future of farming! 🚜🤖 #AIAgriculture #TechInFarming
Had to add in the 50% work in agriculture bit just to soften the wounds😂😂. It's around 35% now but whatever let's you sleep at night
Agree… AI can increase productivity by optimizing resource use. Through in-depth data analysis, AI can help farmers determine the best times to plant, water and harvest crops, based on weather and soil conditions. This not only reduces wastage of water and fertilizer, but also increases crop yields 🥇😘🥰😘🥰😘🥰
Great report!
If it supports sustainable development,then it's good
Wow idea 💡 👍👍

This month BBC didn't receive money from anti -India forces😁
Go India 🇮🇳✊, Your friend from Sudan 🇸🇩🤝🇮🇳
#faint🙄🙄🙄
The all over is good using AI and saving water but taking help from robots for farming in gardens is going to affect our local economy and replacing many farmers who are depending on agricultural work.
❤ 🇮🇳
This is awesome
That My Idea
Thanks❤
We kicked bbc out 👍👍
How can we connect that company
Shocking. BBC is showing positive side of India. Wow BBC. Adani ne kharid liya hei kya 😁
And BBC hates India under Modi. 😂😂😂 jokers. The access to technology that Modi has facilitated is just unbelievable while most of the worlds politicians are so stupid that they cant expand the acronym of AI. 😂😂
Notice how BBC has still found a sneaky way to demean India by saying "AI comes to India" instead of saying "AI is being used by farmers in India". Also how the thumbnail shows a poor labourer as a representative Indian farmer. Classic BBC.This is not the same India anymore which took disrespect and drank it quietly, we now also question the motives of the ones who disrespect us. We are not run by pseudo-british governments anymore according to British fancies and humours.
Why they show the news of India bsdk
AI and digitalisation in India is competitive than other nations
What happened to BBC….. after ED raid? Now realised the importance to Survive in India.
Bharat broadcasting channel 😊
All this AI and genetically modified food technology and soil and genetically modified seeds and fertilizer technology is creating food mush with zero nutrients and is bad for human health and letting companies who control and own the technological make the farmers landless and homeless. Soon the governrnment and American companies will own land that belonged to modest Indian farmers for thousands of years creating inferior food products leaving the farmers homeless. This is the 2nd genetation pysically smaller and weaker and less well nourished than it grandparents and this is worldwide phenomena. Stop this genetic modification and AI of food now.😮😮😮
Nice
What if people from offuces enjoying by time to sit aside and watvh this huge moniatrack on variety . It is a lesson to many is sitting my best option it will necer chabge through listening yo this. It will change by himanity walking . Fact not this hell
