Abstract

The agricultural sector is experiencing a technological revolution with the advent of smart agriculture, which integrates Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning to enhance farming practices. This transformation addresses critical issues such as resource management, efficiency, and sustainability amid challenges posed by a growing global population, climate change, and traditional farming's environmental impacts. Smart agriculture employs digital tools for real-time, data-driven decision-making. IoT sensors monitor soil and crop conditions, feeding data into AI algorithms that predict and optimize farming operations. This systemic shift not only improves resource use and crop yields but also promotes sustainability by reducing environmental impacts. However, challenges like data security, high initial costs, and the need for robust infrastructure and skilled labor persist. Policymakers and industry leaders play vital roles in fostering adoption and innovation in this sector to ensure a sustainable future for agriculture.
