Introduction
Sustainable Agriculture:
Defined as eco-friendly farming methods that preserve resources,
enhance biodiversity, and maintain soil quality.
Key goals include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water
conservation, and ensuring a healthy ecosystem.
Importance:
Agriculture contributes 18% to India's GDP, employing 57% of the rural
population.
Challenges include declining arable land, resource degradation, and
climate variability.
Objective:
Integration of IoT and smart technologies to address agricultural
challenges and increase efficiency.
Problems
Decline in cultivable land due to urbanization and soil
degradation.
Inefficient resource utilization and over-reliance on chemical
inputs.
Lack of precision leads to wastage and environmental harm.
Theories
IoT in Agriculture:
Use of sensors, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence
to monitor and manage crops.
Real-time data collection improves decision-making.
Precision Agriculture:
Site-specific management using tools like drones, GPS, and
remote sensing for targeted interventions.
Eras of Agricultural Technology:
Agriculture 4.0 introduces IoT, big data, and AI for smarter
farming practices.
Methods
Sensors: Measure soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and
crop health.
Communication Tools: GPS, IoT platforms, and cloud storage
for data management.
Actuators: Automate irrigation, fertilization, and pest control.
System Architecture
