Research Title

How can an AI-powered smart farming system integrate sensor data and image analysis to improve plant health, reduce global warming, and support sustainable agriculture compared to traditional farming methods?

Research Abstract

The rapid increase in the earth’s temperature and global warming partially arose from the amount of nitrous oxide released into the atmosphere. This problem mainly starts from the agriculture industry. Farmers are using too much fertilizers in their plants, and the excess fertilizers are automatically converted into nitrous oxide, which is a greenhouse gas that is 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide. And, the increase in global warming can lead to lack of water, more wildfires, and more intense droughts. This research will be focusing on the use of an innovation called Plant Protectors, as a potential to mitigate the amount of nitrous oxide released into the atmosphere, while maintaining ecological balance. The Plant Protector is a smart tool that helps reduce green house gasses. We used multiple AI + multiple sensors to "scan" a plant's health and automatically water the plant too. It tells the farmer exactly what the plant needs so they don't have to guess. This way, they only use the right amount of fertilizer and not are left to become nitrous oxide.
