Abstract
Asia is the largest and most populous continent of Earth with an overall population of 446.27 crores. Housing this population drives various challenges in different aspects, in which providing healthy and nutritious food to each and every individual is most challenging. Unfortunately, because of certain production issues, farmers are not getting the desired throughput, and in some critical cases, situations lead to suicide. On the other hand, proper storage and distribution of these harvests are other challenges. Various models and IoT (internet of things)-based approaches have been presented and are available for implementation, but a dedicated layout combining the digitization of all the essential steps, starting from preparation of soil for agriculture to the making food available for every needy person, is still missing. In the paper, various related models have been studied, and an integral model is presented where integration of IoT is carried out with agriculture and with the food storage and distribution system.
Highlights
The alarming population of Asians country is not an only challenge in itself but the arrangements of their livelihood and to provide them with an adequate life style is a bigger challenge for the governments
Various models and IoT-based approaches have been presented and are available for implementation, but a dedicated layout combining the digitization of all the essential steps, starting from preparation of soil for agriculture to the making food available for every needy person, is still missing
In the proposed work we have suggested some INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) based model for smart agriculture and for smart farmers and intelligent food storage system
Summary
The alarming population of Asians country is not an only challenge in itself but the arrangements of their livelihood and to provide them with an adequate life style is a bigger challenge for the governments. The regional representative of Asia Mr Konuma, has mentioned, “Food and Agriculture Organization has estimated, if the wastage could be reduced by just one fourth, enough food can be saved to feed around 870 million people across the globe. He further suggested that the production should be increased by 60% anticipating the further increase in the world population, which is expected to be 9 billion by 2050 (As millions go hungry, Asia battles food waste, 2013). In the later part of the section the future scope of the model is presented
