ABSTRACT Agriculture plays a vital role in sustaining the global population, with millions of people depending on its products for their livelihood. However, as the global population continues to grow, available farmland is being divided among family members, leading to smaller plots for each farmer. In many countries, the average size of farmland per farmer has dwindled to just about 2 acres, posing significant challenges for productivity and economic viability.Farmers, especially those working on smaller plots, often face financial struggles due to their inability to afford modern agricultural machinery. Instead, they rely on outdated, manual methods that are not only laborintensive but also inefficient and time-consuming. As a result, agricultural productivity remains low, and farmers are trapped in cycles of poverty.To address this issue and improve farming efficiency the introduction of affordable, small-scale mechanization can offer a solution. By replacing human and animal labor with accessible, efficient technology, farmers can enhance productivity while reducing physical strain and the reliance on manual labor.A machine is currently being developed to meet these needs, incorporating a combination of a Bluetooth controlled solar powered seed sowing machine with servo motor and a drive motor.
