Introduction Uttarakhand’s hill agriculture faces persistent challenges such as small landholdings, limited irrigation, seasonal employment, and youth migration. In this context, mushroom cultivation has emerged as a low-land, low-water, and high-income agricultural enterprise suitable for hill regions. The success story of Kamal Pandey and Namita Tamta from Almora district stands as a strong example of…
Soil is the foundation of agriculture, and its health directly determines crop productivity, profitability, and sustainability. Traditional soil testing methods, though useful, are often time-consuming, infrequent, and inaccessible to small farmers. To address these limitations, soil health monitoring innovations are transforming how farmers understand, manage, and improve their soils. Modern soil health monitoring combines technology,…
The use of drones in agriculture is rapidly transforming traditional farming into smart, data-driven, and precision-based agriculture. Agricultural drones, also known as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), help farmers monitor crops, manage inputs efficiently, reduce costs, and increase productivity. In a country like India, where small landholdings and climate risks are major challenges, drones offer a…
Introduction to AI in Crop Production Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing crop production by making agriculture more precise, data-driven, and efficient. Traditional farming depends largely on experience and seasonal patterns, which are increasingly affected by climate change and resource constraints. AI in crop production uses data from soil, weather, crops, and machinery to support accurate…
