Challenges of Practical Implementation of Internet of Things in Agriculture

Abstract

The present study considered the internet of things major work in agriculture grassland. The initiation of Internet brought a new viewpoint to all the businesses. The conventional models were refurbished and enhanced for large-scale adoption. Advancements in technology lead to the Internet of things, which is an extension of the network of computers to the network of smart devices.In this study the awareness of Internet of Things (IoT) in the field of agriculture. IoT is a revolutionary technology that represents the future of computing and communications. It provides a complete review of its framework, considerations and implications in implementation. The paper intends to brief the reader about the IoT technology and its operational requirements in agricultural practices.The major need of IOT in agriculture is that the world population is set to touch 9.6 billion by 2050. So, to feed this much population, the farming industry must embrace IoT. Against the challenges such as extreme weather conditions and rising climate change, and environmental impact resulting from intensive farming practices, the demand for more food has to be met.The working of Agriculture IoT is discussed along with some real-world examples. The use of IoT in the fields and orchards will help the farmers reap the benefits of its various technologies.The major scope of our research is IOT in agriculture is highly recommended and is very effective when looking into the long term benefits like good production and automation. When agriculture is integrated with IOT the data collected in the process will be highly efficient in making more progress towards the improvement of this field which can save many from financial troubles.
