Abstract
The agriculture and cereal industry are crucial for the security, resilience, and economic well-being of Bhutan through agricultural practices and technology adoption. Subsistence farming, small-scale farming, diversity, cultural significance, and reliance on the monsoon are characteristics of Bhutan's agricultural sector for growing rice, maize, wheat, and millets. There is a significant need to reduce human wildlife conflicts (HWCs) to ensure food security through cutting-edge technology for the sector transformation by utilizing technological innovations. Zhemgang district will host the study to investigate technologies for HWCs using virtual fencing, digital twins, automation, data analytics, mobile applications, and through integration and adoption solutions for farmers.
