From drones to AI apps, farmers are reaping the rewards of technology

- REWATI KARAN

RECENTLY, MICROSOFT CEO Satya Nadella shared a video talking about the success story of its Project Farm Vibes launched in 2022 in Maharashtra's Baramati, showcasing how AI-driven solutions improved crop yield by 40% and reduced fertiliser use by 25% of sugarcane farmers. In the Microsoft blog, it is claimed that it also resulted in 50% water conservation, reduced harvest time from 18 to 12 months and accounted for 12% reduction in post-harvest losses.

It was initiated through a collaboration with the Agricultural Development Trust (ADT), which aims to drive sustainable and efficient farming practices. Microsoft Research, through Project Farm Vibes, an open-source research project, is actively developing AI-driven solutions to further revolutionise India's agricultural sector.
