Abstract

The rapid population growth is a compelling surge need for food which results in a shift towards smart farming practices. Moreover, agriculture is facing with several issues such as shrinking natural resources, limitation of cultivable land, unpredictable weather conditions, increase in crop diseases. Consequently, the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) are being associated with agriculture to reduce operational efforts while increasing productivity. Radio frequency identification, wireless sensor networks (WSN), cloud computing, end-user apps, and middleware systems are a few of the technologies that are integrated into the Internet of Things. In this paper, numerous applications and challenges of IoT have been discussed. Further, an ecosystem for agriculture is presented which discusses that how IoT is solving different challenges faced by the farmers.
