Smart and Organic vs Sustainable Agriculture using IoT

Abstract

Agriculture, too many is just an industry of farmers and cows. Most people
can’t even come close to fathom just how essential the continuance
of agriculture is to not just our wellbeing, but our very lives. Due to
the depletion of the vital resources, needed to produce our food, it is
becoming increasingly challenging for today’s agriculturalists to feed
the world. The only way to be able to keep up with the exponentially
growing population and shrinking resource base is to radically change
how we produce our food or we will be looking at a huge crisis in
the very near future. From this, need of new farming and production
techniques, comes a couple new practices one is sustainable, and the
other is organic crop production. With the growing adoption of the
Internet of Things (IoT), connected devices have penetrated every aspect
of our life, from health and fitness, home automation, automotive and
logistics, to smart cities and industrial IoT. Farming has seen a number
of technological transformations in the last decades, becoming more
industrialized and technology-driven. By using various smart agriculture
gadgets, farmers have gained better control over the process of raising
livestock and growing crops, making it more predictable and efficient.
