A key component of smart farming is Internet of Things . Together with sensors, real time data are monitored. These include soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and crop health. This data is used to optimize irrigation, fertilization, and pest control based on actual field conditions. Another is the use of drones and remote sensing. Drones equipped with cameras and sensors can map fields, monitor plant growth, and assess crop health.
There are obvious benefits. Farmers can use water, fertilizers, and pesticides more efficiently. Whilst automation and precision farming reduce labour costs and input wastage, saving money in the long run. By reducing chemical and water use, smart farming promotes more sustainable agricultural practices. Data analytics and AI help farmers predict potential risks like weather changes or pest infestations and take preventive actions.
Strong policy support is essential. Give financial incentives to farmers adopting smart farming technologies. Ensure smart farming aligns with broader sustainability policies. Partner with technology companies to develop accessible, affordable solutions tailored to local farming needs. Engage academics to conduct research on local conditions and develop the relevant technologies. Collaborate with government bodies and NGOs.
