What You Will Learn:

• Introduction to Smart Agriculture and Precision Farming
• Basics of Machine Learning and its relevance to agriculture
• Understanding datasets related to soil, crops, and climate
• Data preprocessing and exploratory data analysis
• Building a Crop Recommendation System using ML algorithms (like Decision Tree, Random Forest, KNN, etc.)
• Evaluation of model performance and real-world deployment
• Hands-on coding using Python, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and Streamlit for web app development

Who Can Attend?

• Students (UG/PG) from Agriculture, Data Science, Computer Science, or related fields
• Faculty members and researchers
• Agri-tech enthusiasts and professionals
• Start-up founders interested in smart farming solutions

About Symposia

The Interdisciplinary Symposia Series is a pioneering initiative by the MathTech Thinking Foundation (MTTF), dedicated to fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange across diverse scientific and technological domains. This series serves as a dynamic platform where researchers, academicians, industry professionals, and students converge to explore and address complex challenges that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries.

Why Interdisciplinary Symposia Series?

In today’s rapidly evolving research landscape, many of the most pressing issues require insights and methodologies from multiple fields. The Interdisciplinary Symposia Series is designed to:​

• Promote Collaborative Research: Encourage partnerships that integrate perspectives from various disciplines, leading to innovative solutions and groundbreaking discoveries.​
• Enhance Knowledge Integration: Facilitate the blending of theories, tools, and techniques from different areas to enrich understanding and application.​
• Address Complex Challenges: Tackle multifaceted problems that cannot be solved within the confines of a single discipline, reflecting the interconnected nature of real-world issues.​

Importance of the Initiative

The significance of the Interdisciplinary Symposia Series lies in its ability to:​

• Break Down Silos: Overcome the limitations of isolated disciplinary work by creating avenues for open dialogue and shared learning.​
• Drive Innovation: Combine diverse expertise to foster creativity and develop novel approaches that might not emerge within a single field.​
• Prepare for Future Challenges: Equip participants with the collaborative skills and broad perspectives necessary to navigate and contribute to the increasingly complex scientific and technological landscape.​

A Great Initiative by MTTF

The MathTech Thinking Foundation has demonstrated commendable leadership in launching the Interdisciplinary Symposia Series. By recognizing the imperative for cross-disciplinary engagement, MTTF is not only advancing the frontiers of knowledge but also setting a precedent for how collaborative efforts can lead to substantial progress in research and innovation.​

Collaboration and Connectivity

At its core, the Interdisciplinary Symposia Series emphasizes:​

• Building Networks: Create opportunities for participants to establish connections that can lead to sustained collaborative projects and professional relationships.​
• Sharing Resources: Encourage the pooling of knowledge, methodologies, and technologies to enhance research quality and efficiency.​
• Fostering a Collaborative Culture: Cultivate an environment where interdisciplinary teamwork is valued and promoted as a standard practice in addressing scientific and societal challenges.​

Through the Interdisciplinary Symposia Series, MTTF is championing a model of research and professional interaction that mirrors the interconnectedness of the modern world, ultimately contributing to a more integrated and innovative scientific community.
