Smart farms through their implementation of new innovations, can bring about increased efficiency and higher quality of food. With an increased emphasis on smart farming, The world will be able to meet the increasing demand for food.
Smart farming is important due to the growing of the expanding global population, the increasing demand for advanced crop yield, the need to use natural resources efficiently, the growing use and sophistication of information and communication knowledge and the increasing need for climate-smart agriculture.
“Smart farming” is an emerging concept that refers to managing farms using technologies like IoT, robotics, drones and AI to increase the quantity and quality of products while optimizing the human labor required by production
Smart agriculture technologies differentiate themselves through their ability to record the data and make sense of it. Smart farming employs hardware (IoT) and software (Software as a Service or SaaS) to capture the data and give actionable insights to manage all the operations on the farm, both pre-and post-harvest. The data is organized, accessible all the time, and full of data on every aspect of finance and field operations that can be monitored from anywhere in the world.
Therefore, smart farming has a real potential to deliver a more productive and sustainable form of agricultural production, based on a more precise and resource-efficient approach. New farms will finally realize the eternal dream of mankind. It’ll feed our population, which may explode to 9.6 billion by 2050.
With an increase in demand for food, many traditional farms have started implementing the use of technology to maintain their competitive edge. This has resulted in the creation of smart farms in many countries
The agricultural sector in most developing countries plays an important role in supporting a large percentage of the working population as well as allowing countries to attain food security in the process. It is therefore important to ensure continually advancing, with efforts to improve efficiency and sustainability within this sector
The utilization of new technologies to complement traditional farming methods would aid farmers in taking their first step towards creating a smart farm with better efficiency
To ensure that the products get sold for revenue, quality is another important factor that should be taken note of
Among the technologies available for present-day farmers are:
Sensors: soil, water, light, humidity, temperature management Connectivity: cellular, LoRa Location: GPS, Satellite Robotics: Autonomous tractors, processing facilities
Software: specialized software solutions that target specific farm types or applications agnostic IoT platforms.
Data analytics: standalone analytics solutions, data pipelines for downstream solutions.
