Highlights
The world population is growing at an average annual rate of about 1.1 percent [1]
The world population is expected to touch 10 billion by the middle of this century [2]. To feed such a large population, the world food production has to be increased by at least 70% by 2050 [3]. This is a great challenge considering the fact that the availability of land suitable for agriculture is gradually reducing due to the increasing pressure on land as a result of population growth [4]
The last fifty years has seen the emergence of Internet and Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Summary
The world population is expected to touch 10 billion by the middle of this century [2] To feed such a large population, the world food production has to be increased by at least 70% by 2050 [3]. The last fifty years has seen the emergence of Internet and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Hitherto, these technologies did not have any significant direct impact on agriculture/food production. Into an identifiable virtual or electronic representation without any human intervention [6] This unique feature of IoT is being made use in agriculture and food supply chain management to improve agricultural production and to make efficient use of the agricultural produce by minimizing loss. This article seeks to briefly look at the recent trends in the use of IoT in Agriculture and Food Supply Chain Management (AFSCM)
