An IoT-based Immersive Approach to Sustainable Farming

Abstract

Despite the fact that the agricultural process is more data-driven, exact, and intelligent than ever before, the reality is that today’s agriculture industry is more data-driven, precise, and intelligent than ever before, regardless of public perception. Virtually every industry has been altered by the rapid expansion of Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based technologies, including “smart agriculture,” which has transitioned from statistical to quantitative methodologies. Such large advancements are upending conventional farming practises and offering new chances in the middle of numerous issues. A new paper looks at the promise of wireless sensors and the Internet of Things in agriculture, as well as the challenges that may occur when these technologies are integrated with traditional farming methods. Using Internet of Things (IoT) devices and communication protocols, wireless sensors utilized in agriculture applications are fully investigated. Sensors for soil preparation, crop status, irrigation, insect and pest detection, and other agricultural applications are on the list. From sowing to harvesting, packing, and transportation, this technique is explained. This article also discusses the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for agricultural monitoring and other useful purposes, such as crop yield optimization. When feasible, cutting-edge IoT-based agricultural ideas and systems are presented. Finally, we highlight present and future IoT trends in agriculture, as well as possible research challenges, based on this comprehensive analysis.
