How Smart Farming Will Answer The Need for Increased Food Production

According to a Scientific Foresight Study on precision agriculture and the future of farming, the area for agriculture production has decreased by 0.7% since 2013.

In order to do this without placing any burden on the environment and contributing to changes in seasonal events, climate change, and the world’s freshwater supply, the solution at hand is through precision agriculture, also known as “Smart Farming”- leveraging multiple technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence, etc.

Precision agriculture or smart farming involves the integration of advanced technologies into existing farm architecture.

Smart farming is considered a management concept or a way to address the challenges that the food industry is experiencing, such as population growth, labor issues, and climate change.

As smart equipment becomes possible, the agriculture sector is going to see things like driverless tractors, precision seeder machines, and automatic smart water irrigation systems that use IoT sensors and data information to get the job done.

Finally, engineers are currently working on robotic components that will be able to complete sophisticated tasks such as picking fruit off trees and identifying food ripeness.
