Technological advances are changing plantation practices, providing solutions that increase efficiency and sustainability. Tools such as artificial intelligence-driven systems, automated machinery and data analytics are helping farmers optimize resources and increase productivity.
Experts highlight the environmental benefits of these technologies. “Smart soil Sensors are a game-changer for modern agriculture,” said innovator Arav Agarwal. “Not only do they help conserve water, they also enable farmers to maintain healthier soil by preventing over-watering or poor nutrition.
Agarwal, World Health Organization FloraCare, a smart planter that uses IoT-powered soil sensors to automatically water and instantly monitor hydration levels, explains how such technology saves water and is designed to be consistent with sustainability goals.
He also said innovative technologies such as drone technology and IoT sensors allow growers to instantly monitor soil health, crop growth and weather conditions. “Automated planting and harvesting machines are simplifying labor-intensive tasks, saving time and resources,” he added.
Countries such as the United States, Israel and India are adopting these technologies to address the challenges agriculture. “These tools address issues of food security and environmental sustainability,” Agarwal said, emphasizing their role in global agricultural practices.
