We all are familiar with the words smart and technology ,all of are living in this 5 G world and the same makes us easier for doing each everything now a days so then what about agriculture .As the world is itself is in high demand for food and food crop all we want is to have maximum of our deed achieved with minimum resources and expenses .So the best and sufficient solution for this is nothing else than smart agriculture or farming.What is this smart agriculture or farming lets us see.
Most farmers are not familiar with the specifics of smart agriculture because it is a relatively new concept. In this article, we'll explain what smart agriculture is and why it's the way farming will be done in the future. The advantages of implementing smart agriculture for your farms will be covered in more detail in upcoming blog pieces on our site.
The use of technologies like the Internet of Things, sensors, navigational aids, robotics, and artificial intelligence on your farm is referred to as "smart agriculture." The ultimate objective is to maximize the use of human labor while raising crop quality and yield.
Example technologies used in smart agriculture are:
1.Climate management and control in greenhouses
2.Sensors – for the soil, water, light, moisture, for temperature management
3.Software platforms
4.Location systems – GPS, satellite, etc
5.Communication systems – based on mobile connection, Lora Wan, etc
6.Robots
7.Analytics and optimization platforms
Now lets go through the usage of these in food industry as well.
Food safety issues in the global farming sector include unanticipated contamination, non-standard pest treatment, and changing weather patterns. Numerous illnesses that seriously impair human health have their roots in these difficulties. Additionally, it can have a negative effect on the manufacturers and producers of food that export their goods.
Saar-based smart farming solutions have the potential to completely change how the entire Agri supply chain is run as a result of the food supply chain's increasing complexity and stringent local and international food safety requirements.
Such solutions enable agribusinesses to be more observable, foresee irregularities, and take timely corrective action to avoid any threat to food safety.
1.Precision farming:
The most well-known IoT-based smart agricultural application is precision farming. Precision farming is the technique of improving the accuracy and control of agricultural processes for crop and livestock production. The IT systems, sensors, control systems, automated hardware, and autonomous vehicles, among others, are the primary elements of precision farming. IoT introduces the concept of tying various systems and gadgets together over the internet for better data analytics and archiving. IoT enhances services like inventory management, vehicle tracking, soil moisture probes, and animal monitoring, among others.
2.Agriculture drones:
In Smart Farming Using IoT, drones are being utilized to enhance a number of agricultural processes. Drones used in agriculture can be either surface-based or aerial-based. Drones are employed in tasks like agricultural health evaluation, crop spraying, planting, soil and field analysis, crop monitoring, and irrigation.
Drones are able to gather multi spectral, thermal, and visual images data that give farmers access to a wide range of metrics, including canopy cover, soil moisture and nitrogen content, plant health, plant count, and predicted yield. The information aids the farmer in making wise choices and ensuring that just the necessary resources are used to prevent waste.
