Smart Farming Meets Ancient Wisdom:
Cultivating Knowledge Agriculture® for Global Hunger Solution

With around 660 million people still projected to face hunger by 2030, this book presents a transformative, data-driven framework — Knowledge Agriculture® — built on four interconnected pillars to address global food insecurity at scale.

The book integrates IoT, UAVs, satellite systems, generative AI, cloud computing, and advanced analytics to guide precision decisions across the entire food chain — from seeding and irrigation to fertilisation and distribution. Inspired by Modi's Vision for Global Trust and Shared Prosperity.
