BRICS Solution Awards

Employ precision agriculture technologies to improve crop yields and nutritional quality of food produced in BRICS countries.

Problem and implemented solution

PROBLEM :Together, the BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—account for a sizeable share of global agricultural output. Nevertheless, maximizing crop yields and guaranteeing the nutritional value of the food produced present a number of difficulties for these countries. Conventional farming practices frequently lead to the inefficient use of resources like pesticides, fertilizers, and water. Reduced crop yields, worsening environmental conditions, and inconsistent nutritional quality in product are all possible outcomes of this inefficiency. Furthermore, pest infestations, soil degradation, and climate variability make it harder to continue using sustainable agriculture practices. IMPLEMENTED SOLUTION :The use of precision agriculture technologies offers a revolutionary solution to these problems. Farmers may manage agricultural resources more precisely and effectively by utilizing drones, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors.

Implementation geography

1. Punjab and Haryana: Potential Impact: Using precision irrigation techniques has a high potential to increase crop yields while lowering water usage. 2. Maharashtra: Potential Impact: By maximizing the use of water and nutrients, precision technology can improve productivity, particularly in regions that are vulnerable to drought. 3. The agricultural profile of Andhra Pradesh and Telanga: Potential Effect: Precision farming can strengthen resistance to climatic unpredictability and enhance resource management and many other agricultural regions .

Description of competitive advantages

Precision agriculture technology give BRICS countries a competitive edge by increasing productivity, sustainability, and efficiency. Farmers may enhance resource management, cutting costs and raising yields, by utilizing IoT sensors, drones, and AI. By increasing crop quality and nutritional content, this precision guarantees a steady supply of premium produce. Sustainable methods assist adhere to standards and limit environmental effect, while data-driven decision-making lowers risks. These developments put farmers in a leadership position for agricultural innovation, bringing in capital and enabling premium produce to fetch higher prices on the market, protecting them from the effects of climate change and market volatility.
