Application of cloud computing to agriculture
- 1. Application of Cloud Computing for Agriculture presented by: Swathi.R Manasa.V CIT,Gubbi
- 2. Introduction Though the farmers have grown the same crop for centuries, the ever changing weather conditions, soil fertility, pests and diseases etc. Affects the final outcome. Information Technologies and tools. Information Communication Technology(ICT) That latest and most promising area of ICT is Cloud Computing.
- 3. Cloud Computing The term “cloud computing” refers to the fact that users do not really need to know who is providing those services and the cloud hid all the technicalities from them. less manpower and zero maintenance. Cloud computing, it has three different deployment models namely private, public and hybrid. Cloud computing offers the following basic models to deliver the services. ◦ Software as a Service (SaaS) ◦ Platform as a Service (PaaS) ◦ Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS)
- 5. Current Challenges in Indian Agriculture : Poor knowledge about the weather forecast, pests and diseases. Deficient production information. Not enough sales and distribution information. Poor ICT infrastructure and ICT illiteracy. Lack of awareness among farmers about the benefits of ICT in agriculture. Insufficient power availability in rural areas.
- 6. Role of Cloud Computing in Solving these Challenges Using the applications of cloud the farmers have nothing to worry about hardware and software investment and also the technical knowledge required to learn them. They can get most up-to-date farming and propagation techniques. They can also leverage the systematic methods in information collection, supply chain logistics, market forecasting and business decision-making.
- 7. The structure of the cloud computing based agricultural system
- 8. Advantages : Less or no expenditure. On-Demand Measured service Efficient Agricultural Knowledge Management
- 9. Current ICT in India Sl.No. Organizations Projects undertaken 1 Central government sponsored Department of Agriculture and Co-operation’s National Agriculture Technology Project AGMARKNET. Community Information Centres 2 State government sponsored Janmithra Gyandoot, e-Seva (Computer-Aided Online Registration Department), Bhoomi (Land Record Computerisation), Raitha Samparka Kendra Online, Marketing and CAD in Northern Karnataka. 3 Corporate sector sponsored E-Choupal, ikissan Kendra, Tata Chemicals Chirag Kendra 4 Non-government organizations and other private sector organizations Information Village Research Project in Pondicherry, Agriwatch.com, Drishti.com, Tarahaat. com by Development Alternatives Mahitiz-samuha, VOICES by Madhyam Communications
- 10. Conclusion : The Cloud computing is a game changing phase of IT that is not only impacting the way computing services are and will be delivered but also the way in which users will use IT. A move to the Cloud, however, requires a well planned strategy as there are many business and technical constraints that need to be mitigated.
