Precision Agriculture and IoT: Revolutionizing Agricultural Practices for Food Security in Developing Regions

Abstract

Precision agriculture, facilitated by the Internet of Things (IoT), offers a transformative approach to modernizing agricultural practices, particularly in developing regions. IoT technologies enable real-time monitoring, data collection, and analysis of various agricultural factors, such as soil moisture, temperature, and crop health. This integration leads to optimized farming techniques that improve crop yields, reduce resource waste, and ensure food security. In regions facing challenges like water scarcity, unpredictable weather, and limited access to technology, precision agriculture can revolutionize food production systems by enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and resilience. This paper explores the potential of precision agriculture, powered by IoT, in revolutionizing agricultural practices in developing regions to achieve long-term food security. It discusses key technologies, challenges, case studies, and policy recommendations for successful implementation.
