Reviewing IoT Technologies For Enhancing Sustainability In Agriculture: A Comprehensive Perspective

Abstract

Population growth impacts agriculture and Climate change is also a threat to agriculture. It is possible to gather data in real-time using IoT to enhance the different activities involved in agriculture and the efficiency of these tasks, production capacities, and belonging to the sustainable economy. Describe how IoT is helping make agriculture more sustainable and mention the problems that exist and how they must be solved. To assess the IoT applications in agriculture, questionnaires of 250 agricultural employees and case studies with the help of statistical tools were conducted. Moderate usage of IoT technologies but yes it has been seen that IoT technology which has been incorporated in precision farming and smart irrigation has benefited the most. Some of the issues include high costs, lack of qualified labor, and security challenges as regards data. Regarding sustainable agriculture, IoT technologies can be very useful in terms of rational usage of resources as well as production rates. The areas to be developed further include low-cost solutions for adoption, training of the solution, and protection of the data from ill-intentioned individuals.
