AI and IoT Synergies Driving Innovation in Next Generation Smart Farming
Author : Dr. M Thirunavukkarasu
Abstract :
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the future of agriculture, opening the door to next-generation intelligent farming practices. IoT-based sensors, drones, and devices produce enormous amounts of real-time data on soil condition, climate, crop status, and resource consumption. AI-powered algorithms interpret this data to deliver predictive analytics, make decisions, and streamline farming operations. Such synergy facilitates precision farming, optimal resource allocation, and sustainability while responding to world challenges like food security and climate change. Through the integration of automation, analytics, and smart decision-making support, AI and IoT help farmers increase productivity, cut costs, and reduce the environmental footprint. This chapter discusses the contribution of AI–IoT integration in promoting agricultural innovation, applications, advantages, challenges, and future directions in the development of a resilient and sustainable agricultural system.
