<div>We are what we eat... and whenever we talk about food, we must see how it has been grown. Unscientific farm management is not only making agriculture unsustainable </div><div>but also a high amount of pesticides in our food acts as a slow poison against our disease-free life. </div><div>So, my research finds the deficiency of water and nutrients in the crop and its precise locations in the farm, so that those areas can be taken care accordingly. <br></div><div>To do so, I use drones to collect images in non-visible and visible range and use them in various physical and mathematical models. These models gave color coded farm maps using which stressed areas can be easily identified. </div><div><br></div><div>This scientific farm management is a step towards sustainable future farming... And this will impact not only the present generation but also our future.</div>
