The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI)  is increasingly significant. However, the  use  of  AI  in  the  agricultural  sector  is  still  8%.  Whereas  AI  opportunities  in  the agricultural sector are not small, especially to help agricultural productivity, which will have an impact on the welfare of farmers. 

  Agriculture has stages from preparation to post-harvest, but the most crucial is in the early  stages,  namely  land  preparation,  maintenance  and  harvest  yields.  There  are  many agricultural  commodities  with  various  varieties.  To  get  the  crop  yields required  precision agricultural science. Extension workers and farmers sometimes have limited knowledge and funds.  One  of  them  is  in  the  maintenance  stage,  when  exposed  to  pests  and diseases—it requires  proper  and  fast  handling.  AI  can  be  here  to  identify  the  types  of  pests  and  plant diseases.  One  of  the  existing  forms  is  an  AI-based  android  application  for  the  detection  of pests and plant diseases.

Further AI development, may later penetrate into land conditions, fertilizer needs, and so  on.  Input  in  the  AI  system  itself  is  expected  from  experts  in  their  fields.  This  will  help accelerate  development  in  the  agricultural  sector.  Even  AI,  can  be  used  in  the  post-harvest stage  to  determine  crop  production  and  productivity  by  entering  data  on  certain  variables. Furthermore,  it  would  be  great  if  all  of  the  Ministry  of  Agriculture's  applications  could  be integrated into the AI platform—which could lead to policy decisions.

Bagaimana Mendapatkan data geografi?

Jawabannya adalah data geografi dapat diperoleh dari berbagai sumber, tergantung pada jenis data yang dibutuhkan dan tujuan Anda. (Menurut saya, Analisis seseorang bisa dibilang semakin kuat, apabila data/informasi yang didapatkan akurat & lengkap dan dapat menganalisisnya sesuai dengan tujuan, dan akan lebih baik lagi dengan berbagai sudut pandang) Pada umumnya, terbagi data primer dan data sekunder, antara lain: 1. Data primer merupakan data yang diperoleh secara langsung (ke lapangan), biasanya untuk validasi atau kroscek data sekunder. 2. a. Data sekunder merupakan data yang diperoleh dari pihak kedua, dst. Perlu dikroscek.  2.b. Menurut hemat saya, data geografi pun dapat diperoleh melalui mix sekunder maupun primer. Beberapa penyedia data antara lain: Pemerintah : Banyak pemerintah memiliki badan atau lembaga yang mengumpulkan, mengelola, dan menyediakan data geografi. Misalnya, di banyak negara, badan survei atau badan statistik nasional biasanya menyediakan data geospa...

"The Influence of PT Natarang Mining's Gold Mining Activities on Population Livelihood Patterns"

"The Influence of PT Natarang Mining's Gold Mining Activities on Population Livelihood Patterns"   By: LHR Kautsar   Indonesia is threatened! The country of the world's lungs has now turned into the fastest destructive country in the world! That's what the Guinness Book of Records revealed. Based on forest cover mapping by the Indonesian government assisted by the World Bank (2000), there was an increase in the rate of deforestation from 1.7 million Ha/year (1985-1997), to 2.83 Ha/year (1997-2000), continuing to 15.15 million Ha/year (2000-2009). This change in forest "cover" is caused by human activity. Starting from illegal logging, land clearing due to the emergence of industry, forest conversion to agriculture, plantations to land clearing or conversion of forests for the mining industry. Yes, almost all mines in Indonesia cut down forests to set up mining businesses, and this then has an impact on the environment. It is fate that eve...

Sekilas Pertanian Presisi di Kanada dan Amerika Serikat (US) yang Bagaikan Science-Fiction!

Source from: https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/PrecisionFarming   Imagine you are a farmer riding along in your 50,000-acre wheat field early in the growing season. You push a button on your tractor to turn on its Global Positioning System (GPS) monitor, which pinpoints your exact location to within one meter. Touching another button, you display a series of Geographical Information System (GIS) maps that show where the soil in your field is moist, where the soil eroded over the winter, and where there are factors within the soil that limit crop growth. Next, you upload remote sensing data, collected just yesterday, that shows where your budding new crop is already thriving and areas where it isn’t. You hit SEND to upload these data into an onboard machine that automatically regulates the application of fertilizer and pesticides—just the right amount and exactly where the chemicals are needed. You sit back and enjoy the ride, saving money as the machines do most of ...
