AGROCLOUD — Open surveillance of Indian agriculture via cloud

Abstract

The Indian agriculture desperately is lagging behind in per hectare yield in almost all crops in comparison to other countries with respect to the population that is needed to be fed. The use of technology in agriculture may help in increasing the productivity and may improve the condition of Indian farmers and protection of their product. The major problem of Indian agriculture is of providing information to the farmers and storing the crop related information at some place for analyzing later. The present paper illustrates a scheme of keeping records on the progress of agriculture, its production and farmers in India, via Cloud, exclusively employed for the welfare of the farmer society and the agricultural practices, GDP, and the cloud being open to general public as well, for studies, and process transparency.
