With the evolution of new technologies in agriculture, traditional farming is changed continuously and replaced by hi-tech agriculture in the fields to improve production efficiency and sustainability. These days the use of artificial intelligence plays vital role for the estimation of insect, pests, disease damage, prediction of weather, smart irrigation etc. in precision farming. Even in the estimation of crop production, these tools are used for the import and export of agricultural commodities. AI also well defines the area under forests in a country, which acts as carbon sink for that region.

Crop diversification is always a hot topic for the farmers and researchers.
