Smart Agriculture

 

What is Smart Agriculture?

It refers to managing farms using modern Information and communication technologies to increase the quantity and quality of products while optimizing the human labor required.

The technologies available for present-day farmers are:

1. Use of Sensors: 

• To measure soil moisture.
• Water required by a crop.
• Measure luminosity required. 
• Appropriate Humidity for Crops. 
• Temperature management system.

2. Use of Software of  specialized software to find solutions that target specific farm types or applications of IoT platforms.

3. Mobile phones for Connectivity

4. Use of LoRa - ("long range") is a physical proprietary radio communication technique.

5. GPS and Satellite to track the location of the agricultural field.

6. Autonomous tractors and  processing facilities for higher production.

7. Application of Standalone analytics tools to combine data from multiple sources to solve complex problems.

8. Application of data pipelines for downstream solutions: A data pipeline is a set of tools and activities for moving data from one system with its method of data storage and processing to another system in which it can be stored and managed differently.
