The key principles of sustainable agriculture are:
- Minimum tillage or zero tillage: Minimum or zero tillage is the restricted use of mechanical manipulation of the soil (through ploughs or other means)
- Water management: Efficient water supply through drip irrigation or spray irrigation to conserve water and minimise runoff loss.
- Adoption of natural parasites and parasitoids: Use of parasites, parasitoids and natural enemies are better substitutes against chemical insecticides and pesticides.
- Use of Biofertilizers like azolla and vermicompost can be used against chemical fertilizers.
Implementation of sustainable agriculture in large scale:
- Education to local farmers: Mostly farmers in India are not aware of sustainable agriculture where they use chemical fertilizers rapidly for growth of crops that ultimately result in polluting the soil. Farmers should be taught to adopt Biofertilizers and non chemicals for the growth of crops.
- Government policies and incentives: Various government policies to encourage farmers to adopt sustainable agriculture should be one of the measures. Providing incentives, subsidy and grants for adopting sustainable agriculture can be a powerful measure.
- Launching projects for farmers: The Government of India can launch projects relating to sustainable agriculture for the farmers to bring about new innovations in the field of agriculture.
- Market Access to production units: In many villages, the market Access is not available easily. More shops and centres should be in close vicinity of the farmers to gain easy access of the seeds, Biofertilizers, etc.

India should employ the use of Artificial intelligence expound renewable energy system to enhance the increasing energy demand and effects on the surrounding environment.
1. Grid Integration and Stability:
Predictive Modeling: AI can predict fluctuation in grid based on the weather forecasts, energy and renewables generation forecasts. This goes a long way in advance the modifications in the energy production and distribution patterns that is so crucial for stabilizing these grids even where the wind and or solar penetrations are in the picture.
-Demand-Side Management: AI smart grid could use energy alert, which draws real time data regarding the energy utilization and incentives overt consumer to switch to non-peak or off-peak hours effectively managing the supply and demand hence, avoiding expensive peak load power plants.
-Site Selection and Optimization: Geographical information and climate and ecological information can be utilized by artificial intelligence to determine which specific regions are best suited for utilization to renewable energy resources, and where the highest rate of utilization with the least amount of negative effect can be expected.
3. Research and Development:
-Material Discovery: Through artificial intelligence, the development of new materials for solar cells, batteries and other renewable energy technologies can be done in shorter time and at lower costs.
-Energy Storage Solutions: AI can improve design and performance of various storage systems whether it is battery or pumped hydro systems and also reduce the cost to obtain them.
4. Policy and Decision Making:
-Energy Policy Formulation: It can analyze massive sets of data referring to energy usage, environmental condition, and economic conditions in order to predict proper energy policies and laws.
Examples of AI Applications in India’s Renewable Energy Sector:
ReNew Power: Ways of integration of artificial intelligence into the field of wind energy for increasing the effectiveness of wind turbines and to anticipate excessive wear and tear.
Tata Power: Integrates AI for the forecast of solar energy generation and also facilitates participating in grid balancing.
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras: Investing in the growth of intelligent software applications for integration, demand side management and distributed renewable generation forecasting.
