Smart Agriculture in the 4.0 era

2020-08-07 - 6 years ago

Smart agriculture, a new term that only applies IoT solutions in agriculture, helps farmers better control the breeding and farming process.

With the increasing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT), connected devices penetrate every aspect of life, from health and transport to automation solutions for homes and umbrellas. bowl and agriculture.

The IoT in agriculture gives farmers better control, reduces dependency on unpredictable factors like weather, and optimizes each process in the production chain, according to Busines Insider.

Weather monitor, providing data such as temperature, humidity, wind speed.

 

For example, to monitor the health of crops, farmers will install sensors for each tree, thereby determining exactly how many pesticides and fertilizers are needed until harvest.

In many parts of the world, Covid-19 is not fully controlled, leading to disruptions in the supply chain of raw materials and a shortage of qualified labor.

"This situation will last for at least a few years," predicted a professor of the American Institute of Biological Sciences, Environment and Rural Affairs. The smart agriculture market size could grow to $ 6.2 billion by 2021, before tripling in 2025 to reach $ 15.3 billion.

There are 5 causes of IoT to improve agricultural productivity.

First, billions of data are collected by intelligent agricultural sensor systems, such as weather conditions, soil quality, seasonal growth rates, or cattle herd health over time. real time.

Second, due to real-time monitoring, owner of the establishment can proactively plan product distribution according to growth. Also by closely monitoring the actual output, farmers will avoid being pressed by small traders for reasons such as crop failure or poor quality each year.

Third, labor productivity will certainly increase by many automated processes such as irrigation, fertilization, pest control ...

Fourth, monitor product quality right from the time it is not harvested, based on reports and year-over-year comparison. From there, farmers will find it easier to maintain higher standards for the quality of crops and animals.

Two serious epidemics in the past two years, African swine fever and Covid-19, make individual control a pressing problem, because if cases are detected early and isolated, the consequences probably not that serious. But also because of the direct influence from SARS-CoV-2, the market share for IoT in agriculture in 2020 is forecast to grow 10% to about 5.6 billion USD globally..
