IoT solutions for precision agriculture

Abstract

In this paper, precision agriculture is set to provide higher productivity and a better use of resources when compared to traditional methods and this will result in lower costs with higher yields. A crucial activity for crop farming is water irrigation while for livestock farming it is the monitoring of animal health. This paper presents two feasibility studies on IoT solutions for automated irrigation and one study for automated animal monitoring. In each, the proof of concept is verified to operate under normal field conditions.
