Google is developing a digital agriculture stack to support Indian farmers by leveraging satellite imagery for mapping farm boundaries, monitoring crops, and enhancing agricultural yields.

The system assigns unique farm IDs, similar to India’s Aadhaar, using satellite data to define boundaries and identify crops for advanced applications.

The digital agriculture stack has potential applications, including streamlining subsidy distribution, providing farm insurance, and facilitating loans for farmers.

This initiative reflects the significance of India’s agriculture sector, which employs about 40% of the population.
