1st Edition
Agriculture 4.0 Smart Farming with IoT and Artificial Intelligence
With the convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the traditional methods of farming are undergoing transformation. By harnessing the power of data-driven insights and automation, farmers can now make informed decisions in real time, optimize resource utilization, and mitigate risks associated with crop management and livestock welfare.
This book serves as a guide to the integration of IoT and AI in agriculture and discusses the methodologies, applications, and challenges in this rapidly evolving field. It details various aspects of smart farming—from crop monitoring and precision agriculture to livestock management and food supply chain transparency—and provides insight into the potential of IoT and AI to revolutionize agricultural practices and address the global challenges of food security, environmental sustainability, and economic development.
