IoT in Agriculture - a way towards Smart Farming
IoT has
influenced various industry verticals and is enabling farmers to reduce waste
and enhance productivity by using smart agriculture techniques. IoT in
agriculture allows the farmers to monitor their crops using various types of
sensor. The IoT in the agriculture market is highly influenced by increasing
adoption of IoT and Ai solutions by farmers, and government support to adopt
modern agriculture techniques.
Growing demand
for agriculture due to increasing popularity, growing focus towards improving
the efficiency and monitoring the crops, and supporting government norms are
the significant factors that are expected to drive the growth of IoT in the
agriculture market. However, high costs of solution and limited technical
knowledge are the major restraining factors for IoT in the agriculture market.
Increasing connectivity, the introduction of big data in agriculture are
creating opportunities for the companies operating in the IoT in the
agriculture market to gain a strong customer base and generate more revenues.
How IoT can
reshape farming
IoT can help
farmers in a number of ways. At its most basic level, sensors can be deployed
across farm and farming machineries in order to enable farmers to gain an
abundance of insightful data, such as the temperature of stored produce, the
amount of fertilizer used, the amount of water in the soil, the number of seeds
planted, storage conditions, the status of farming equipment and machinery in
use, etc. Once an IoT-enabled smart system is in place, farmers can easily
track a variety of environmental variables and take informed decisions.
Rather than just
an enhancement, smart farming is a necessary innovation, which if correctly
implemented could help farmers to deal with all the challenges they face in
farming. Moreover, the rich insights derived from smart sensors could help
farmers be more precise in their use of pesticides and fertilizers, thus
mitigating some environmental impacts.
IoT deployment in
agriculture can address many challenges and increase the quality, quantity, and
cost-effectiveness of agricultural production.
