It is expected that digital interventions will play a key role in addressing global food security challenges and in helping farmers adopt climate-smart agriculture practices. It has major role in horticultural systems since the crop vary from annual to perennial in nature and quite distinct in their agrometeorological needs. Using emerging technologies like the internet of things (IoT)-enabled devices such as smart agricultural sensors and robotic drones, satellite imagery, and GPS-enabled instruments, real-time data are collected on soil, crop, hyper-local weather predictions, equipment available, and other variables. This is supplemented by inputs from IoT and AI/ML-driven predictive analytics software to enhance production and productivity of floricultural crops. Digital Smart interventions would make this sector more technology-driven productivity input and energy efficient, environment-friendly, complete value-chain development and globalization.
