Internet of Things in smart agriculture: Scopes and challenges

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects that are connected to the Internet and can exchange data with other devices and systems. Smart farming, or smart agriculture, is adopting advanced technologies and data-driven farm operations to optimize and improve sustainability in agricultural production. Technologies used for smart agriculture include artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT). Smart farming advances rapidly and uses IoT sensors, drones, and AI algorithms. These advanced technologies help farmers optimize agricultural processes, enhancing efficiency, yield, and sustainability. Real-time data processing helps precise decision-making, reducing resource wastage and environmental impact. Smart farming revolutionizes the agriculture sector and improves productivity and profitability while optimizing resource utilization by protecting the environment and natural resources.
