India’s agri sector is extensive, with nearly 60% of the country’s territory under cultivation, covering 175 million hectares. Of this, 141 million hectares are under crops. Despite significant progress in recent years, India lags behind other countries in terms of agricultural productivity.1<\/a>\u00a0The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that global food production needs to rise by 70% to meet the projected demand by 2050, highlighting the urgency of addressing productivity challenges in Indian agriculture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Unsustainable agricultural practices have significantly degraded soil quality in India.2<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Nearly 50% of the canal-irrigated regions are affected by salinization and alkalinization, resulting from overwatering and inefficient water management. Additionally, natural factors such as rain and wind continue to deteriorate soil in hilly, arid, and semi-arid areas. Furthermore, the intensive use of agricultural inputs \u2014 including over-tilling, fertilizers, pesticides, engineered seeds, and monocropping \u2014 has compounded the problem, leading to further soil degradation.3<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

According to the World Bank and the FAO, only 42.3% of agricultural land in India is irrigated, with the remaining being rain-fed.4<\/a>\u00a0This makes small and marginal farmers, who constitute over 80% of the farming population, particularly vulnerable to climate fluctuations.5<\/a>\u00a0These farmers, with cultivable land of less than 2 hectares, have limited coping capacity and are severely affected by unpredictable rainfall patterns, temperature extremes, and the increased frequency of extreme weather events like droughts and floods.6<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

IoT technologies enable precise monitoring of various agricultural parameters such as soil moisture, crop health, and environmental conditions. This real-time data allows farmers to make informed decisions about irrigation, fertilization, and pest control, leading to better crop management and higher yields. For example, sensors can monitor soil moisture levels, ensuring that water is used only when needed, thus conserving water and preventing over-irrigation.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

  1. Current information dissemination and training through Krishi Vigyan Kendras and subsidies are insufficient to reach small and remote farmers. CSR projects can bridge this gap in partnership with the states.<\/span><\/li>\n \t
  2. Additionally, there is a need to invest in pilot projects assessing barriers to the adoption of such technologies to improve the targeting of govt schemes. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIoT for precision agriculture offers a transformative solution to many challenges faced by Indian agriculture. By improving profitability, reducing environmental impact, and creating new employment opportunities, IoT can play a crucial role in driving sustainable and resilient agricultural practices. CSR practitioners can leverage IoT technologies to design impactful and sustainable agricultural programs, aligning with both environmental goals and economic benefits for smallholder farmers. Investing in IoT for agriculture is not just about technological advancement; it is about fostering a sustainable future for the agricultural sector and ensuring food security for the growing population.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
