Abstract

The use of "AgriTech," or the Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture, has sparked a profound transformation in agricultural methods and sustainability. The major elements of IoT in agriculture, including its applications, advantages, problems, and hopes for the future, are briefly summarized in this abstract. The use of sensors, networking options, data analytics, and automation technologies across the agricultural environment is included in the IoT in agriculture. Farmers are now able to monitor and manage their businesses with a level of accuracy and efficiency never before possible. Precision agriculture, which maximizes resource usage via accurate irrigation, pest control, and variable rate technologies, is one of the main applications of IoT in agriculture. Wearable technology and tracking technologies are used in livestock monitoring to improve animal management and health. IoT helps supply chain management by assuring the effective storage and transportation of agricultural supplies. Crop planning and risk evaluation are aided by environmental monitoring, which keeps tabs on weather and soil conditions. IoT in agriculture offers significant advantages. Data-driven decision-making, better production, resource efficiency, decreased environmental impact, improved cattle welfare, and increased food safety are the results. The initial expense of implementation, worries about data security and privacy, poor connection in rural places, and the need for technical training among farmers are all problems. But new technology developments and continuing research promise to solve these problems. IoT in agriculture has a bright future. Precision agriculture powered by the Internet of Things will be strengthened by integration with 5G networks, satellite imagery, and artificial intelligence. IoT will be crucial in guaranteeing food security while reducing agriculture's environmental impact as the world's population expands. Agriculture's future is changing as a result of the interaction between technology and agriculture, becoming more robust and sustainable.
