Farmers in Maharashtra’s Baramati region are turning to AI to combat the challenges of climate change and improve sugarcane yields. With unpredictable weather making farming increasingly difficult, AI-powered tools are providing real-time insights on irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. Through a partnership with Microsoft and the Agricultural Development Trust, farmers receive tailored recommendations via a mobile app, helping them optimize growth while reducing water and fertilizer use. The results are promising—shorter crop cycles, higher sucrose yields, and increased profitability. With industry leaders like Microsoft and Mahindra backing AI-driven agriculture, this technology is set to redefine sustainable farming in India.
