Study of Designing Technology-Driven Solutions for Holistic Environmental Protection in Agriculture

Abstract

The increasing challenges posed by environmental degradation and the urgent need for sustainable agricultural practices have prompted a paradigm shift towards technology-driven solutions in the agricultural sector. This research paper delves into the significance of designing technology-driven solutions for holistic environmental protection in agriculture. The paper explores how advanced technologies, when integrated with innovative design principles, can empower farmers to make environmentally conscious decisions and foster resilient agricultural practices.

With the goal of achieving sustainable development and preserving natural resources, the paper highlights the potential of technology-driven platforms     like Farmonaut. Farmonaut exemplifies how satellite-based crop healthmonitoring and field mapping services can provide real-time data on crop conditions, enabling farmers to optimize resource utilization and minimize the environmental impact of farming practices.

Through the application of machine learning, Farmonaut's voice and text- based plant issue identification system further assists farmers in promptly identifying crop issues and accessing government-approved remedies. By offering multi-language support and a comprehensive database of crops and issues, the platform ensures accessibility and usability for farmers across diverse regions.

This paper showcases the transformative impact of technology-driven design solutions in promoting eco-friendly agricultural practices. The findings emphasize the potential of such approaches to not only reduce chemical inputs but also optimize field management, thus fostering a harmonious coexistence between agriculture and the environment.
