  • First Online:
Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

Presently it is really difficult to deal with agriculture and its requirements. The majority of the country’s population depends entirely on agriculture. Food production should also be improved as the world population is constantly growing. Recent technological advances have had a major impact on agriculture. Advancement of latest technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) has attracted researcher’s attention to apply these methods to agriculture. Smart agriculture/farming is one of IoT’s emerging areas. Sensing temperature of soil, nutrients and humidity, controlling and analyzing water consumption for growth of plant are some of the recognized IoT based analytics applications. IoT devices collect and generate enormous quantities of data for various fields and applications. This chapter shows different farming issues that can be solved by applying deep learning and IoT technologies in agriculture domain.
