IoT and Advanced Intelligence Computation for Smart Agriculture

Smart agriculture is an approach to maintaining nature without compromising the basic needs of future generations while at the same time improving the efficiency of farming. The main achievements of smart agriculture in terms of sustainable agriculture are crop rotation, controlling nutrient deficiencies in crops, pest and disease control, recycling, and water harvesting, leading to a safer environment overall. Living organisms depend on the nature of biodiversity and are exposed to pollution due to waste emissions, use of fertilizers and pesticides, degraded dead plants, and so on. The emission of greenhouse gases affects plants, animals, humans, and the environment; hence, this necessitates a better environment for living organisms.The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements, challenges, and potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) in the future of intelligent agriculture. The book is primarily focused on equipping younger researchers, graduates, and professionals in the industry with the necessary knowledge to understand the advantages of AI technology, machine learning, and data analytics methods in improving current agricultural practices.Key features include the following: The book showcases the latest advancements in AI and smart agriculture technologies The text emphasizes sustainable practices supported by AI, highlighting how technology can enhance productivity while minimizing environmental impact Readers will learn how to harness big data and analytics to drive informed decision-making and optimize their agricultural yields
