Internet of Things Framework for Sustainable Agriculture in Smart Farming

Abstract

The global human population is constantly increasing whereas the agricultural land resources are declining for reasons of urban settlements and industrial growth. This has certainly strained the agricultural sector for increased annual yields, especially in the changing climate. To accomplish the rising demand of consumers for food, feed, and fiber, up to 70% upsurge in crop production is farsighted by 2050. The agricultural industry is getting more data-centric and requires precise, more advanced data and technologies than before, despite being familiar with agricultural processes. The agriculture industry is being advanced by various information and advanced communication technologies, such as the internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing are anticipated to inspire growth and initiate the use of robots and artificial intelligence in farming. The rapid emergence of these advanced technologies has restructured almost all other industries, as well as advanced agriculture, which has shifted the industry from a statistical approach to a quantitative one.
