Abstract
As the population of the world grows at an alarming rate, a cause of serious concern is to satisfy the rising demand for quality nutrition. In order to satisfy this demand, the farming industry needs to steadily and progressively adapt to advanced technologies driven by Internet of Things (IoT). It needs to provide cutting-edge solutions to the growing demand for food. Latest IoT-driven farming products are expected to enhance the production by improving operative productivity, reducing expenses, lessening trash and enhancing the value of the harvest. Intelligent farming is fostered by technology-driven sensors and devices implemented for observing the light, humidity, air quality, heat and ground moisture content of the farm as well as the irrigation network. These IoT-driven techniques not only will cater to traditional farms but also to organic farms and vertical farms. Various applications of IoT in agriculture have been discussed in this chapter along with their benefits and the various companies which are market leaders in these sectors.
