From smart necklaces for cows in Kashmir detecting infections days before symptoms appear to satellites predicting sugarcane sweetness with 95 per cent accuracy, artificial intelligence is already delivering measurable results for millions of smallholder farmers, Maharashtra Resident Commissioner R Vimala said Tuesday at the launch of a compendium of 26 ground-breaking studies.That's not disruption, it's transformation at scale," Vimala said at the launch of the AI Casebook on Gender and Agriculture.
On soil testing, she said portable devices under the Vasudha and Neo Park programmes use hyperspectral imaging to deliver a complete soil chemical profile on the spot with over 90 per cent accuracy, eliminating weeks-long laboratory wait times.The compendium also documents Mapmycrop's use of super-resolution satellite imagery to predict sucrose levels in sugarcane with 95 per cent accuracy, resulting in a 57 per cent improvement in yields. The same satellite infrastructure is being used to generate credit scores for farmers, cutting loan approval times from weeks to days.
Platforms such as RMS for AI and Varaha use MRV (monitoring, reporting and verification) frameworks to validate sustainable farming practices like alternativ ..
