AI in the fields: Copilot powers smarter farming
- Microsoft is focusing on empowering around 600 million smallholder farmers globally by offering access to essential technology solutions.
- Through Azure Data Manager for Agriculture and generative AI, Microsoft aims to help farmers implement smarter, sustainable farming practices.
- The article highlights key challenges farmers face:
- Yield losses can reach up to 40% due to pests and diseases.
- Limited access to critical information and agronomic expertise, as seen in India, where agriculture employs over 43% of the workforce.
- Microsoft collaborates with partners like ITC (an Indian multi-business company) to develop Krishi Mitra (“farming friend”):
- An agricultural super app based on Microsoft’s copilot template.
- Allows farmers to ask questions in their native languages, with AI-powered responses on weather, agronomy, and other key topics.
- The app integrates natural language chat functionality with generative AI to provide tailored guidance on:
- Crop management
- Pest control
- Soil health
- Water conservation
- Microsoft’s language localization tools ensure the app serves a linguistically diverse user base, giving farmers critical farming information in their preferred languages.
- Expansion Goals:
- By the end of 2024: Reach over 100,000 farmers in India.
- By 2030: Aim for a 10 million user base, enhancing agricultural decision-making and sustainable practices.
