How Smart Agriculture is Ushering in a New Era of Farming

Author : Shweta M | Published On : 27 Jun 2024

The smart agriculture market is growing at a rapid rate, enhanced by the necessity of efficient farming solutions and the utilization of advanced technologies. Developing technologically advanced devices, and supporting government initiatives significantly contributed to market growth. In addition, several companies are lucratively investing in this sector, thereby expecting to accelerate the market growth curve. The rise in agricultural science awareness and the growing implementation of smart farming are anticipated to create huge growth opportunities in the market soon.

The worldwide population is at a surge, and the demand for food requirement is growing tremendously. The farmers are adopting smart agriculture over traditional farming practices due to its efficiency. Recently, the latest concept of smart greenhouses has been trending. This helps in growing plants in optimal environments with lesser requirements. Such trends support smart farming practices. Precision farming can be used interchangeably with smart agriculture, which makes use of advanced technologies to get positive effects in agriculture in the form of better yield, waste reduction, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. Innovative tools such as sensors, drones, and AI-based devices enable the detection of overall farming practices and help to provide insights for better resource management and increased productivity.

In addition, due to trending modernization, farmers are more inclined towards smartphones and exploring online educational programs to support farming yields and perform good agricultural practices. Despite plenty of advantages, smart agriculture faces some troubles. This includes high initial costs, lack of technical knowledge, and limited accessibility of advanced tools in rural areas. However, ongoing advances and decreasing costs are likely to accelerate market growth trends. Moreover, government and private companies are increasingly making efforts in research activities and promoting initiatives to overcome these problems and bring innovation to this sector.

Smart Agriculture Market Embracing Innovation and Technological Advancements

Sensors and Internet of Things (IoT): IoT-based sensors are employed in farms to check weather changes to predict and overcome adverse effects on farming yield. Moreover, sensors play a significant role in checking the temperature, oxygen level, moisture, and nutrient level of the soil environment to manage irrigation and fertilization. This real-time data helps to make informed decisions about irrigation, fertilization, and pest control.

GPS technology: Automated equipment with linked GPS technology serves as a boon for smart agriculture. Such advanced types of equipment further help in planting and harvesting with high accuracy, reducing overlap and missed areas. 

Predictive Data Analytics: Predictive analysis plays a potential role in this market. By analyzing historical and real-time data to forecast crop yields, optimize planting schedules, and improve overall farm management.  Utilizing AI algorithms, data analysis is being performed which can forecast farm yield, perform early disease detection, and suggest optimal suggestions for profitable yields

Robotics and Advanced Drones:

Tech-savvy tools such as drones offer well-structured images of farms, provide a way to monitor crop health, and identify issues like pest infestations or nutrient scarcities. Robotics can manage tasks like planting, weeding, and harvesting without the need for human labor.

Precision Agricultural Practices: These practices utilize the data captured by various sensors to know water requirements, the amount of waste produced, and optimal growth conditions in farms. This further enables precise application of pesticides and fertilizers, thereby reducing waste and environmental impact.
