LUDHIANA,<\/p>\n
Dr P.K. Aggarwal, an expert from International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT), and a Regional Programme Director, Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), delivered a talk on \u201cManaging Climatic Risks in Agriculture: Big Data Provides New Opportunities\u201d at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU). The talk was held under the aegis of Ludhiana Chapter of National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS).<\/p>\n
In his talk, Dr Aggarwal said many climatic challenges were cropping up across the globe. Climatic risks were on rise, he observed, saying that the challenges were affecting the food production as well as 56 per cent of world\u2019s population. Stating that this was more prevalent in South Asia, he disclosed the climatic risk was also one of the major reasons for crop failure and farm suicides in India. Suggesting useful ways to cope up with climatic issues, he apprised the audience of the newly coined technique \u201cData Pool.\u201d He informed about the use of big data for managing climatic risks in agriculture. Dwelling on the use of extension modes like mobile, camera, micro-satellite pictures, social media, etc., he cited the example of the use of satellite pictures for observing nitrogen level in wheat in developed nations. In this way, data collection can contribute to prosperity in agriculture and research can be given a new direction at international level, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
