Time and investment to reach majority of India’s Farmers ARA Shukla BBC News Bangalore
India has used traditional methods of agriculture for generations, but with 1.4 billion people now dependant on the crops farmers produce, some are turning to technology to boost productivity and profit.
For example on one vineyard, sensor devices are being used to check weather and soil health.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can then figure out when it’s time to water the crops, add fertiliser and tackle pests.
Nitin Patil, who works at the vineyard, says the AI advice has helped “save 50% of the water” the farm had been using previously.

why is the documentary so short!!
BBC ๐๐
Wow BBC for once youโre showing positive news about India. This is a shocker to be honest! ๐
This generation will soon forget how to plant trees without technology and that is end of humanity
Strange BBC is reporting positive news from India, guess colonial hangover is fading??
Bhai log mai kya sapna dekh raha hu? ๐๐
Disclaimer: BBC has apologized for showing the good side of India. It was a technical glitch
E-commerce giants such as Flipkart and amazon literally have replaced humans to manage their stocks in warehouse. In india, AI is also forecasting on livestock health and supplies. Asian paints have been using supercomputers for decades. This is new India ๐ฎ๐ณ
Can they use AI to build toilets ?
chat GPT creators predict AI will replace around 40% of jobs from world job market. Actually they don't understand the down side. If that amount of people loss their income it will be the starting point of destruction of whole world.
someone hacked bbc my god!
Indian head wobble๐๐ so funny when you are speaking atomatically head move๐๐
Thatโs great , but still need to improve on filthy street food culture.
Nitin Sir ๐

AI in India… cuz people working like robots
Government is given to worst case in India in seeds problem and political worst case ๐ข๐ข๐ข
Just a fad, those machines are very sophisticated and prone to failure and thus very energy intensive, but they have to sell the line of energy savings when behind the doors they're causing a lot more damage, same like the electric vehicle fad. This phenomenom is called Energy Cannibalism
BBC fulfilling yearly quota before going back to propoganda
Great work ๐๐ป
every now and then BBC meat rides India so it can get some views for revenue
Unfortunately we have a worst prime minister now
This will happen only in South india.
India is different from South india
