Agriculture is one of the most fundamental human activities. As long as we’ve pursued it, we’ve tried to master it. Better techniques meant greater yields. This, in turn, kept humans happier and healthier – and helped birth modern society as we know it. There’s only one hitch in this success story, however. As our farming has expanded, usage of resources such as land, fertilizer, and water have grown exponentially. Environmental pressures from modern farming techniques have stressed our natural landscapes. Still, by some estimates, worldwide food production will need to increase 70% by 2050 to keep up with global demand. With global populations rising, it falls to technology to make farming processes more efficient and keep up with the growing demand. Fortunately, the combination of more data from the Internet of agricultural things and new machine learning capabilities can contribute a crucial part. Machine Learning (ML) and Internet of Things (IoT) can play an very promising role in the Agricultural Industry, some examples will be like, an artificial intelligence programmed drone to monitor the field, An IoT designed automated crop watering system, Sensors embedded in the field to monitor temperature and humidity, Etc. Agriculture industry is the largest in the world, but when it comes to innovation here there is lot more to explore. IoT devices can be used to analyze the status of crops. For instance, with soil sensors, farmers can detect any irregular conditions such as high acidity and efficiently tackle these issues to improve their yield. The data gathered from sensors allows to apply analytics and get the insight that aid decisions around harvesting. In this book we will try to explore the impacts of ML and IoT in Agriculture sector and we will try to point out the challenges facing by the agro industry which can be solved by both Machine Learning and Internet of Things.
