The Indian government has signed an agreement with six states - Assam, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh - to initiate a digital crop survey as part of the Agristack or India Digital Ecosystem for Agriculture (IDEA) project. The workshop organized by the Union agriculture ministry discussed the implementation plan for the digital crop survey, aiming to create a comprehensive and verified source of information about farmers and their crop-sown data. The digital survey will utilize advanced technologies like visual and advanced analytics, GIS-GPS, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to provide a transparent, efficient, and timely system for assessing crop cultivation across the country during different agriculture seasons. The initiative, known as Krishi-Decision Support System (Krishi-DSS), is expected to address various challenges faced by the agricultural sector and enhance decision-making processes to support farmers and stakeholders effectively.
