Use the IoT technology to collect the NPK (Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium), pH, Humidity, temperature and hydration parameters along with weather forecast for real-time basis for decision making for each farm at a central command and control centre. D. Create an Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) based predictive engine for yield, price, demand and impact prediction, which shall ensure a predictable return of each associated land and hence enable a robust supply-chain. E. Create a local supply-chain for farm yields ensuring farm-to-plate within 48Hrs driven by AI/ML based predictability, ensuring organic and nutrient food for local households.
