Synopsis

Authored by Vikram Singh Sankhala, "Applied AI in Smart Agriculture: A Practical Guide for Agri-Business Transformation" is designed specifically as a core training resource for Price Waterhouse Coopers, aiming to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills to apply AI and Generative AI within the agricultural sector. The book begins by laying a robust foundation, exploring the diverse ecosystem of agricultural data—from soil and weather to crop and IoT sensor data—and guiding readers through a practical data source mapping exercise to identify and catalog farm data. It then transitions into analyzing the strategic opportunities for AI adoption in agri-business, providing frameworks for cost-benefit analysis and efficiency enhancement through resource optimization and risk reduction. Building on this foundation, the book delves into core machine learning applications, explaining key algorithms like regression for yield prediction, classification for disease detection, and clustering for soil zoning. Readers engage in hands-on labs, including building a simple crop yield prediction model in Excel/Colab and exploring image-based AI for plant disease detection and satellite imagery analysis. The curriculum progresses to cover Generative AI foundations, focusing on prompt engineering for agricultural reports and custom GenAI solutions like fine-tuning LLMs for domain-specific FAQs. Advanced topics include Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for building crop advisory agents and AI-driven decision support systems for price forecasting. The book concludes with critical considerations for AI implementation and ethics, discussing deployment strategies, ROI calculation, bias auditing in data collection, and mitigating GenAI hallucinations, culminating in a capstone project to design and prototype an end-to-end AI solution.
