Internet of Things (IoT) in Smart Farming

IoT connects farm equipment, sensors, and systems through the internet to automate decisions. Devices can track soil pH, temperature, and humidity 24/7, sending data to mobile dashboards. For example, IoT irrigation systems automatically switch on when soil moisture drops below a threshold. Smart collars on cattle monitor health, location, and feeding behavior. This connectivity gives farmers predictive power—detecting disease before symptoms spread or adjusting irrigation schedules based on real-time weather forecasts. Impact: Higher productivity, labor reduction, and better decision-making powered by live data analytics.
