Ai For Farmers

Entrepreneurs are selling farmers apps to connect them to big buyers nationwide and using artificial intelligence to improve the rickety supply chains that lose one-fourth of India's produce to wastage.

In a shining example of how Indian youth from smaller cities can now create unique Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain-based applications to solve real-life problems, members of a team -- all hailing from farming backgrounds -- have won India's largest AI and blockchain hackathon.

The Union Agriculture Ministry on Wednesday signed a Statement of Intent (SoI) with IBM India to provide weather forecasts and soil moisture information to farmers.
