The Role of IoT in Sustainable Agriculture: Leveraging Big Data for Precision Farming
Abstract
Precision farming combined with the Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the agricultural industry by boosting productivity and encouraging sustainable practices.. This paper explores the transformative impact of IoT technologies on modern agriculture, focusing on how big data analytics can be leveraged to optimize farming practices, reduce waste, and conserve resources. The Internet of Things (IoT) offers real-time data on a range of agricultural characteristics, including soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and crop health, through a network of linked devices and sensors.. This data, when analyzed using advanced big data techniques, offers valuable insights that drive informed decision-making and efficient farm management. Precision farming is one of the main advantages of the Internet of Things in agriculture. Applying resources like water, fertilizer, and pesticides precisely according to the requirements of crops at various growth phases is known as precision farming. ages of growth. IoT devices, including soil sensors, weather stations, and drones equipped with multispectral imaging, collect granular data that enables farmers to apply inputs precisely where and when they are needed. This targeted approach minimizes the overuse of resources, reduces environmental impact, and leads to cost savings and higher crop yields.
Keywords: Internet of Things, IoT, sustainable agriculture, precision farming, big data, resource conservation, predictive analytics, environmental impact, food security, smart farming.
Introduction
The agriculture industry is about to undergo a transformation thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), which is bringing cutting-edge solutions to improve sustainability and production. Real-time data collection and exchange between linked devices is facilitated by the Internet of Things (IoT). In agriculture, these devices include sensors that monitor soil moisture, weather stations that track climatic conditions, and drones that capture high-resolution images of crops [1]. This wealth of data provides farmers with unprecedented insights into their farming operations, enabling precision farming practices that optimize resource use and improve crop yields. As global populations rise and climate change imposes new challenges, the integration of IoT in agriculture emerges as a critical strategy to ensure food security and sustainable farming practices [2].
Keyworde: Internet of Things, IoT, sustainable agriculture, precision farming, big data, resource conservation, predictive analytics, environmental impact, food security, smart farming.
