When used to its full potential, smart agriculture can help farmers combat the negative effects of climate change on crops by collecting geospatial data on planting, soil, livestock, and other inter- and intra-field data. By providing information on the appropriate dosages of pesticides, herbicides, liquid fertiliser, and irrigation, smart agriculture also helps to prevent waste. Examples of contemporary agricultural technologies include data management software, GPS, yield mapping software (YMS), variable rate technology (VRT), and mapping software. These technologies boost soil fertility and profit growth while lowering operating costs and promoting sustainable agriculture. Additionally, smart agriculture technology has the ability to cut farming costs while producing more outstanding food and boosting corporate productivity through automated operations. Business-minded farmers have started to adopt a number of cutting-edge agricultural instruments in order to boost crop yields and earnings. The objective of smart agriculture practises is also to boost agribusiness profitability.
Farmers have profited from the growing usage of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in agriculture by gaining real-time help through LoT applications. Traditional farming methods that use Internet of Things (IoT) applications save time and money by using fewer resources for farming, such as land, electricity, and water, allowing farmers to focus on growing high-quality food for their clients. Additionally, the widespread use of loT technology in the agricultural sector enables farmers to respond to large variations in weather, humidity, and air quality. LoT technology in agriculture increases farm output while reducing carbon emissions by conserving energy and water resources through sophisticated sustainable solutions. It uses a variety of management tools and technology, visualisation, and data analytics to automate conventional farming practises. Farmers may also stay updated on how to use information and communication technology to optimise revenues and preserve resource conservation under a variety of climatic circumstances as internet usage develops in the agricultural industry. The growing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the agriculture sector is therefore predicted to fuel the growth of the farming as a service business during the projection year.
As part of production support, it is possible to lease or contract out equipment and personnel. Pay-per-use and subscription are the other two types under the delivery model.
