ABSTRACT

The development of agricultural countries relies heavily on advancing agriculture, and encouraging rural-to-urban migration to tackle this challenge. Embracing Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart agriculture solutions holds excellent promise. These solutions encompass a range of intelligent techniques, including moisture sensing, temperature monitoring, leaf wetness analysis, GPS-based remote-control monitoring, and security measures to protect crops. Tailoring these smart techniques to specific farming methods fosters agricultural industrialization. Moreover, wireless sensor networks are utilized in many projects to gather data from multiple sensors and transmit it wirelessly, with monitoring environmental conditions playing a crucial role in promoting productive crop production. Additionally, managing nutrient fertilization is essential for maintaining soil fertility, improving crop quality, and boosting output. Given concerns about the extensive use of chemical fertilizers, finding sustainable and cost-effective nutrient management solutions remains a global priority. The chapter aims to deepen the understanding of sustainable agriculture by exploring the social phenomenon and regime perspectives, revealing common goals and characteristics of smart farming, and providing valuable insights to navigate the diverse approaches in the field of smart agriculture. This chapter examines the implementation of automation and IoT technologies in the agricultural sector, focusing on promoting sustainability. This chapter undertakes a literature review and analysis to identify the shared objectives and characteristics of sustainable smart farming based on the IoT. This chapter evaluates existing literature on integrating IoT sensor technology and wireless networks, specifically focusing on its application within the agricultural system.
