3. Part III - Technical Details of the Project
a. Origin of Proposal
Over the years, the agricultural sector has lived through a series of revolutions
that have driven efficiency, yield and profitability to previously unattainable levels.
Market forecasts, linkages with various stakeholders for the next decade suggest
a ‘digital agricultural revolution’ will be the next paradigm shift which could help
ensure agriculture meets the needs of the global population into the future and
most importantly help communities to have a sustainable livelihood.
Currently the agriculture and food sector is facing multiple challenges. With the
global population projected to grow from 7.6 billion in 2018 (UN DESA, 2017) to over
9.6 billion in 2050 there will be a significant increase in the demand for food (UN
DESA, 2019).
Digital innovations and technologies may be part of the solution. The so-called
‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ (Industry 4.0) (European Parliament, 2015a) is seeing
several sectors rapidly transformed by ‘disruptive’ digital technologies such as
Blockchain, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Immerse Reality. In the
agriculture and food sector, the spread of mobile technologies, remote-sensing
services and distributed computing are already improving smallholders’ access to
information, inputs, market, finance and training. Digital technologies are creating
new opportunities to integrate smallholders in a digitally driven agrifood system.
In the high altitude region of Arunachal Himalaya, hilly and undulating terrains
have resulted in low agricultural crops production although majority of the local
residents are highly dependent on agriculture for their subsistence. Moreover,
sources of income are scarce and peoples mainly depend on forest and forest
products. Therefore, wild plant and animal species form an important component
of the livelihood of rural people in many parts. Illicium griffithii, Valeriana Wallichii,
Zanthoxylum are few of the significant aromatic and medicinal tree species
occurring in subtropical to temperate forest of Arunachal Himalaya.
However, these species are growing in selected forest patches to a few locations.
Dried seed pods are economically valuable having good market potential for
spices and pharmaceutical purposes.

This proposal intends to upgrade the current farmers community of Arunachal
Pradesh using a combination of scientific technologies (ATI - Agricultural
Technological Innovations) and help them earn a sustainable livelihood by
engaging in collection, sustainable cultivation, value addition and developing
marketing linkages of selected medicinal and aromatic species (MAP).
b. Rationale of the study supported by cited Literature
The proposal to understand better has been divided in the following four parts
which technological interventions at each step:
● Conservation of the selected species of the MAP
● Sustainable harvesting of the selected species of the MAP
● Post harvest, processing, value addition and marketing of the products
● Entrepreneurship at the community level
Following are the rationale behind the proposal under each part along with cited
Literature:
Conservation of selected species of MAP using scientific technology
interventions
Precision Agriculture (PA) is an example of an application of the Internet of
Things (IoT) in agriculture. The use of Guidance Systems during planting and
fertilizer application can lead to cost savings in terms of seed, fertilizer and tractor
fuel, and can reduce working hours in the field. Variable Rate Technologies (VRT)
and drones (UAV) can also reduce water and pesticide use and reduce labour
and resource costs. {Reference - Case study of PWC, Australia}
Over the last few years, the growth in Artificial Intelligence technology (AI) has
strengthened agro based businesses to run more efficiently. Companies that use
AI help farmers to scan their fields and monitor every stage of the production
cycle. AI technology is transforming the agricultural sector, as farmers can
depend on the data that satellite or UAV record to determine the state of the farm
rather than walking all the distance. AI can improve resource use, support early
decision making through predictive models and maintain 24/7 monitoring
systems. {Reference - Alibaba Group & JD.com launches smart brain for Pig Farms - Case Study}
Sustainable harvesting of the selected species using scientific technology
interventions

Agricultural robots (‘agrobots’) are seen as a key trend that will deeply influence
agriculture in the future. Field ag robots are already being deployed to help
farmers measure, map and optimize water and irrigation use. Fleets of small
lightweight robots are now seen as a replacement for traditional high mass
tractors, allowing a gradual reduction of compaction, re-aeration of the soil and
benefits to soil function {Reference - Case study of Naio Technologies}
Technologies can also support farmers to anticipate and respond to pest attacks,
crop failures and climatic changes through timely weather-based agro-advisory
messages. {Reference - Case study by Medium}
Post harvest, processing, value addition and Marketing of the products
Technologies such as Blockchain have also been shown to deliver benefits. For
example, Blockchain has been successfully used to detect poor quality food in
food chains allowing early and effective responses. It can also provide
consumers with information on the origin of their food, generating a competitive
advantage for those who use it. {Reference - Case study of Walmart Tracks Its Lettuce from farm to
plate}
Post-harvest Agri startup Arya Collateral has launched a one-stop
comprehensive digital platform A2ZGoddam. It can be used for search, discovery
and fulfilment of warehousing for farmers, FPOs, Corporates and other
stakeholders like traders and small aggregators. The platform aims to empower
farmers and their organisations to gain freedom from the tedious activity of
accessing warehouses, finance and other post-harvest services. {Reference - India’s
first post harvest solutions platform}
Entrepreneurship at the community level
The use of mobile applications providing price information to farmers can reduce
market distortions and help farmers to plan production processes. For example,
the M-Farm application in Kenya led to farmers changing their cropping patterns
and some reported receiving higher prices at market as a result {Reference - Case
study of M-Farm}
The importance of ERP software in agriculture is high, as it has the potential to
help streamline every process, from procurement to production to and
distribution. ERP can enable a farm (or related business) to respond more
organically to environmental challenges, adjust systems accordingly, and grow
into a more cost-efficient business. {References - Case study of MyCrop}

f. The Relevance of Proposed Study
Leveraging the Agricultural Technological Innovation (ATI) concept using modern
technology to increase the quantity and quality of the selected species in West
Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh for the selected species. ATI involves an
integration of information and communication technologies into machines,
sensors, actuators, and network equipment for use in agricultural production
systems. Developing a Smart Plant Factory (processing, value addition,
packaging plant) and marketing the product via various technology platforms.
Smart Farming Techniques Proposed Items:
1. Sensing technologies - including soil scanning, water, light, humidity, temperature
management
2. Software applications - specialized software solutions that target specific farm
types
3. Communication technologies - such as cellular communication, LoRa, Wan
4. Telematics, Positioning technologies - including GPS, satelites
5. Hardware and software systems that enable IoT-based solutions - Drones /
robotics and automation in harvesting, processing, packaging and storing
6. Data analytics - that underlies the decision making and prediction processes
IoT-based farming cycle:
The core of the IoT is the data - and more data. To optimize the farming process,
IoT devices installed on a farm should collect and process data in a repeated

cycle that enables farmers to quickly react to emerging issues and changes in
ambient conditions.
● Observation - sensors record observational data from the crops, livestock,
the soil or atmosphere
● Diagnostics - the sensor values are fed to specific software with
predefined decision rules and models that ascertains the condition of the
examined object and any deficiencies or needs
● Decisions - after issues are revealed, the software determines whether
location-specific treatment is necessary and if so, which?
● Implementation - the treatment needs to be performed by means of the
correct operation of machines
g. The Expected Outcome of Proposed Study
The expected outcome of the proposed study are as follows:
● Start using technology on a regular basis for conservation and
sustainable harvest of various MAP plants
● Develop a high end training module with interactive lessons and
gamification concept for training and knowledge transfer to farmers on
using technology for best cultivation practices
● Livelihood Generation - Farm visits & eco-tourism for giving travelers a
first-hand experience of the product (of the selected species). A high-end
and easy to use App for the consumers to order the products based on
their convenience
● Better buy back support and industry network/market linkage - Currently
the products purchased by the consumers are untraceable and the
farmers don’t get the direct maximum benefits because of middle men
involved
