India’s agriculture sector is rapidly evolving. From traditional methods to smart farming, the modern-day kisan is now equipped with data, drones, and digital tools. At KrishiGK, we believe in empowering farmers with not only knowledge but also the how-to guides to adopt these innovations.
🌾 Thought Leadership: why digitisation of agriculture
Agriculture is no longer just about soil and seeds—it’s about data, climate resilience, and smart decisions. Here’s why:
- Precision Farming: GPS and IoT-based sensors help monitor soil health, crop growth, and water usage.
- Satellite Data: Platforms like Bhuwan, Google Earth Engine, and Copernicus now offer real-time insights into crop condition, FAPAR, NDVI, and weather.
- AI & Mobile Apps: AI tools offer pest prediction, fertilizer recommendations, and market price forecasting.
Technology will not replace farmers—but the farmer who uses technology will replace the one who doesn’t.
