Harvesting the Future: AI and IoT in Agriculture

Abstract

This review article, “Harvesting the Future: AI and IoT in Agriculture,” presents a comprehensive analysis of the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) in modern agriculture. It synthesizes a range of studies to showcase how AI and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms are revolutionizing crop management, precision agriculture, and supply chain efficiency. Utilizing data from various sources like sensors, drones, and satellites, these technologies enable optimized resource use, enhanced crop yields, and better livestock health monitoring. The review highlights the role of IoT in agriculture, particularly its benefits in easy installation, reduced maintenance, and energy harvesting for device sustainability. It explores the integration of IoT with big data and knowledge-based systems, addressing key challenges in farm data management. Additionally, the paper delves into the growing adoption of smart agriculture techniques, driven by cost-effective IoT sensors and AI advancements. These technologies facilitate efficient resource management, predictive analytics, and autonomous farming, thereby modernizing traditional agricultural practices. The review also discusses the broader social implications and future trends in the adoption of smart agriculture systems, describing their significance in enhancing agricultural productivity, sustainability, and profitability.
