Abstract
The future of farming and farmers in India is smart farming, which uses
intelligence to integrate information technology and communication tools equipped
with sensors and actuators for embedded farm management. This involves using
emerging technologies like AI, IoT, and blockchain to employ robots, drones, and
artificial intelligence in the agricultural sector, which is modifying traditional farming
practices and simultaneously posing a variety of difficulties. The aim is to explore the
various tools and equipment used. Pesticides are an essential material used in
agricultural land to eliminate insects or other harmful organisms that affect crop yields.
However, excessive use of pesticides can result in problems such as decreased soil
fertility and an increase in insect species' immunity. To overcome these challenges, a
land-specific variable-rate spraying and directional spraying method can be employed,
which offers an accurate and flexible alternative strategy. Soil moisture is a crucial
parameter in agriculture as it affects plant growth and survival. Various factors like air
content, salinity, toxic substances, soil structure, temperature, and heat capacity of the
ground can affect soil moisture. Agriculture resource management can be enhanced by
designing various technologies like AI, IoT, and blockchain by using IoT sensors,
drones and satellites, AI-powered cameras, weather stations, crop yield predictions,
disease and pest detection, crop optimization, supply chain transparency, resource
optimization, online communities, and data sharing networks. AI optimizes resource
allocation and predicts outcomes. IoT provides real-time data for precision farming and
livestock monitoring, while blockchain ensures transparency and security in supply
chains and transactions, revolutionizing agricultural resource management. Agriculture
resource management using technologies like AI, IoT, and blockchain comes with
ample potential results like increasing efficiency in agricultural operations, enhancing
productivity, improving crop and livestock health, and facilitating knowledge sharing
and collaboration.
