USE OF IT IN AGRICULTURE (REMOTE SENSING, AI AND APPS).pptx

This Presentation includes the knowledge on Remote sensing, AI, Agriculture apps.
1. Remote Sensing:
Remote sensing involves the use of satellites, drones, and aerial sensors to gather data about crops, soil, and weather conditions from a distance. This technology enables farmers to monitor large areas of farmland in real-time without needing to be physically present.
2. Artificial Intelligence (AI):
Artificial Intelligence leverages machine learning algorithms and data analytics to process vast amounts of agricultural data, leading to more informed decision-making.
3. Agriculture Apps:
Agricultural apps are mobile and web applications designed to support various aspects of farm management.
