Workshop Date : December 17, 2023 [ 1000 - 1300]
According to data from Govt. of India, agriculture is a high-priority sector of the Indian economy, with 58% of all families dependent on it directly or indirectly, for their livelihoods. With increasing world population, climate change and limited arable land, the current practices in agriculture are becoming unsustainable for both people and planet as they incur huge environmental cost and wastage. These in turn leave the small producers at or below the poverty level. Therefore, there is an urgent need of paradigm shift in this domain, and adoption of digital and AI based technologies can aid in the shift. AI and Data-driven technologies have the potential to enhance productivity and efficiency, thus generating higher farm income, waste reduction and sustainability.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers from diverse domains such as agricultural and livestock experts to specialists in AI/ML and sensing to facilitate contributions in this important and emerging research field.
