Food demand is increasing day by day with the rising population of the world. Predicting future food demand along with organizing the data related to agriculture and economic conservation is a complicated task that can be managed by smart agriculture.
The world population is increasing tremendously and to feed some 9 billion people by 2050 would be a great task. The reduction in fertile land, sudden climate change, and environmental degradation all add up to the low yield of furnished food. All of this requires that there must be some smart solution to the problem.
Smart farming increases the quantity and quality of agriculture
Agriculture is a primitive activity from the time era of our great grandparents. Agriculture is the best occupation for every community and farmer. In the 21st century, we have the latest high-tech instruments used in agriculture at a large scale, revolutionizing traditional agriculture while making agriculture activity a smart agriculture phenomenon. The farmer of the 21st century has access to all the modern farming instrumentation such as GPS (global positioning system), data management, soil scanning, and internet of things technology.
Smart Agriculture is using modern and innovative technologies in agriculture to yield better and more efficient results in terms of crop management, soil analysis, and deploying new techniques for the cultivation and harvesting of crops.
New age farming strategies multiply the effectiveness of farming
Using precision equipment like the Internet of Things model for tech innovation in agriculture as the farmers will be updated on temperature and climate through satellites. The electronic sensors and actuators will determine the rains in advance by detecting moisture in the atmosphere and soil.
The Geo-positioning systems will forecast the climate situation for the farmers so that the farmer can plan the plantation of crops. The Big Data information management on the yield and production of various crops to update the farmers on the productivity of the crops.
Farmers can adjust the nutritional value of the crop with the use of smart farming techniques
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, drones) will spray the insecticide on the crop making the work process fast for the farmers. With robotics fertilizers and irrigation management, etc the farmers can boost their crop production and harvesting while reducing the time, effort, and labor required for these tasks.
Smart Agriculture helps in monitoring every detail related to the production of crops, harvesting, and weed management as well as soil analysis. These help in yielding more effective and cost-reducing results. The quality of the crops also increases drastically thanks to the alert management system.
Like greenhouse farming is a part of modern farming, smart farming supports and helps in analysis and decision-making for better growth and production of crops.
