Augmented Reality in Agriculture Posted: 03 Sep 2021 03:57 AM PDT  By the year 2050, the human population will grow as high as 10 Billion! (World bank) That's five times of where we were in 1915 at 1.8 Billion. (Infoplease) As a result, the demand for food will be almost double by the year 2050. Augmented Reality in agriculture is a new hope for managing the challenge of growing food demand.   Indeed, increasing food demand results in acute distress among farmers. Farmers are living with a hope of good days. The inability to meet growing food demand may have serious repercussions. Starvation, mortality and political unrest are only some of them. Hence, a transitional change in agriculture becomes a necessity.   So, what to do now? Fortunately, AR is the answer to this question. Implementation of AR in farming will help in improving farm production. The technological wave of AR in agriculture will revolutionize farming. There will be a continuous surge in human population in future decades. Hence, the importance of Augmented Reality in agriculture also increases.   After revolutionizing various industries, the AR spectrum extends to the agriculture world as well! So, It would be interesting to learn about the AR technology in agriculture. The present methods are inefficient for managing future food demand. Even after undergoing some transformations in past decades, a room for improvement agriculture is still left.   Augmented Reality in agriculture for Smart farming Augmented Reality in agriculture for Field check Do you think farming is a 2- step process of sowing seeds and harvesting? No, farming is a lot more than this. Farming, however, incorporates other processes as well. These are measurement and scheduling that are based on a scientific farming approach. A manual fertility check by farmers is done on each piece of land. Thus, making farming a complex and time-consuming process.   Augmented reality in agriculture plays a metamorphic role in the field – check and pest/insect detection process. Moreover, it also determines the soil properties and crop to be sown in a particular piece of land. AR helps in understanding pest and crop conditions just by looking at the application.   Further, Maybe you are thinking, data collected using sensors is not enough for the AR overlay? Yes, you are correct. Therefore, data from nearby devices are also used for displaying the AR overlay.   Augmented Reality in agriculture for Simulated Training In fact, the use of AR is prominent manufacturing, healthcare, and Real Estate but its usage in agriculture yet unexplored. Farming involves the use of complex tools and machinery due to which it becomes a complex process. AR training will help farmers in giving an interactive and safest form of training. farm equipment operations possible using a tablet or a smartphone! So, now farmers can capture and share the information on machinery, crops, and livestock in the best possible manner.    Augmented Reality in agriculture for Weather Updates    Further, AR can be used for obtaining the weather forecasts as well! Augmented Reality in farming gives farmers correct and real-time weather-related conditions. This useful piece of information may help farmers in making Crop Selection decisions. Farming is one of the areas that have a huge influence on weather conditions.  AR, in that case, acts as a helping hand for farmers for gaining real-time whether insights. Real-time, accurate and location-specific weather updates help in mitigating the risks associated with farming. The dynamic nature of weather leads to wastage of hard work, time and resources of farmers. AR being, in that case, will help farmers in taking some proactive steps.
