The use of Internet of Things (IOT) in modern day agriculture

Abstract

The agricultural sector plays a vital role in the global economy, underscoring the need for innovative technologies to boost productivity and sustainability. This study delves into the potential of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in modern agriculture, with a focus on optimizing crop yields and resource allocation. By leveraging IoT-enabled devices, farmers can access real-time data on soil conditions, weather patterns, and crop health. This enables precise decision-making, reduces inefficiencies, and promotes sustainable agricultural practices. The study highlights the transformative potential of IoT in addressing pressing challenges in agriculture, including water scarcity, nutrient management, and pest control. The findings of this study suggest that IoT adoption can bridge the gap between traditional and smart farming, paving the way for more sustainable agricultural systems. Specifically, IoT technologies can benefit small-scale farmers by providing them with actionable insights and recommendations to improve crop yields and resource allocation. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of IoT to revolutionize agricultural practices, promoting sustainability, productivity, and efficiency. By harnessing the power of IoT, farmers can adopt more precise and data-driven approaches to agriculture, ultimately contributing to a more food-secure future.
