IoT-Based Smart Agriculture and Poultry Farms for Environmental Sustainability and Development

Abstract:

Latin America is seen as a pivotal supplier of agricultural and poultry commodities to an ever-growing world population. However, serious pressure has been put on the rural agriculture communities as a consequence of the urbanization. In addition, the lack of using efficient processes has hindered the development of both the agriculture and poultry sectors. One possible solution to address this issue is the Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based smart management system in order to introduce modernization in traditional methods. This chapter will begin with the examination of the challenges faced by the conventional agriculture and poultry farm followed by possible contributions of IoT-based technologies and solutions to improve quality, quantity, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness of agricultural and poultry sectors. Then, the enablement of intelligent control and real-time decision-making by applying state-of-the-art methodologies comprising sensors for monitoring, and drones for maintaining surveillance and detecting irregularities through image analysis is discussed. The major contribution of this chapter is to elucidate the system design for monitoring various environmental parameters regarding smart agriculture and poultry farms by using wireless sensor networks and artificial intelligence.
