We are all aware that India’s economy relies heavily on agriculture, where farmers occasionally face crop losses due to unpredictable weather conditions. With increasing population and greater migration away from agriculture as a mode of livelihood, it is through modern technology that agriculture can be sustained, especially when it is forecast to reach 9.6 billion by 2050. This is an opportune moment for farmers to embrace technology. By integrating sensors with cloud technology, farmers can access real-time monitoring capabilities.
Modernisation of farming by implementation of IoT has a significant impact.
The connected agriculture market, globally valued at USD 13.61 billion in 2022, is expected to reach USD 33.57 billion by 2032, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.50%.
IoT supports precision agriculture by enabling the monitoring of soil moisture, temperature and nutrient levels.
Additionally, IoT facilitates the monitoring and tracking of crop health and growth, as well as the monitoring of weather and environmental conditions.
It also aids in the management of greenhouses and the monitoring and tracking of agricultural equipment.
Allied to agriculture and crops, in poultry farming and in management of animal husbandry, tracking livestock and the environmental parameters with a data driven approach can prevent and reduce illnesses through prediction.
IoT in bee keeping also an allied activity can further crucially strengthen agriculture through improved pollination while providing an independent revenue stream.
Smart farming needs integration of different sensors based on the target need.
pH IoT devices integrates pH sensors to monitor the salinity of the water.
