4. INTRODUCTION:
 Agriculture [Ager + cultura = Field + culture​]
 Agriculture is arts & science of cultivating soil,
producing crops & raising livestock for business.​
Traditional agriculture Modern agriculture

5. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:
 Automated farming activities.
 Identification of pest and diseases outbreak
before occurrence.
 Detecting weeds.

6. VERTICAL FARMING:
 It allow to produce crops
with 70-95% less water than
require for normal
cultivation.
 Dickson Despommier is
the father of vertical
farming.

7. HYDROPONICS:
 Up to 90% more efficient
use of water.
 Production increase 3-4
times in the same amount
of space.
William Frederick
Gericke is the father of
hydroponic.

8. Types of hydroponics :

9. APPLICATION:
Automatic spraying.
Aerial survey imaging.
Agriculture robotics.
Drone.
ADVANTAGES:
 Higher yield.
 Weeding can be easily
eliminated.
 Lower water use.
 Fresh produce grown
much closer to where
it eaten.
DISADVANTAGES:
High initial costs.
High operation cost.
Very high demand
for energy.
Problems affect
plants quicker.

10. CONCLUSION:
 The modern agriculture enable the farmer to
better moniter the needs of individual crops
& animals.
 Automatic in irrigation farm machinery and
harvesting further easy for farming
operation's while minimizing losses.
 Drones save time spent on sowing.
 Agriculture is the main driver of development
in most rural area's.
