Internet of Things Practices for Smart Agriculture
Abstract
Agriculture is an important economic sector that leads to the overall economic growth of a nation. This sector has to meet the increasing consumption needs of the world population, which is expected to increase by 70% by 2050, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The advancements in the technology in the field of agriculture will facilitate the growth in farming activities. The internet of things (IoT) industry enables the farmers to face these challenges. IoT sensors provide the information about the crop yields, soil moisture, rain fall, livestock, etc. to the farmers that can be used for decision making. The information can be accessed by the farmers with the aid of smart phones. This chapter focuses on the smart agriculture practices with IoT that helps the farmer to analyze the operational data to improve decision making. The implementation platform for the IoT and the communication technologies for smart farming are discussed. A prototype for a smart irrigation system has also been proposed.
