There are several reasons for this growth:
By 2050, the population will increase by 9.7 billion (25% after 30 years) and its food demand. In the past 40 years, due to soil erosion and pollution, the world's arable land has been reduced by one-third of the limited expensive resources, such as water, electricity, fertilizer and other sensors with reasonable prices, durability and easy maintenance under extreme weather conditions.
The development of Internet of Things and analytical technology provides farmers with a way to improve the efficiency of farming methods and increase the output of existing cultivated land. Precision agriculture includes everything that enables farmers to manage crop growth and raise livestock more accurately. Intelligent sensors can run automatically 24 hours a day, thus reducing the need for manual intervention, reducing the cost of growers, providing an overall view of the farm and highlighting operational insight.
In addition, precision agriculture solutions can inform producers of the parameters they need to know about soil, humidity, water level and other important indicators, so as to take corrective measures before small problems affect profits. Let's first look at some practical applications and benefits of the Internet of Things in agricultural practice, and then look at the Internet of Things in agriculture: seven innovative use cases of smart agriculture.
