Doubling farmer income by implementing digital agriculture methods

By offering loT-enabled digital agriculture solutions, Bosch India is working towards improving drop yields. Solutions from the group can help optimize the utilization of resources such as water, electricity, fertilizer, crop-protection to reduce post-harvest losses in the food supply chain. Given the constraint on the size of operational land holding of the farmer, the solutions allow scalability of deployment towards better results, optimize operational costs and in-turn enhance their livelihoods.
