Abstract
Technological change in smart agriculture is a necessity for enhancing agricultural productivity, especially for sustainable farming systems. Smart agricultural farming is designed on providing the agricultural industry with the infrastructure to leverage advanced technology with the inclusion of big data, the cloud, and the internet of things (IoT) for tracking, monitoring, automating, and analyzing operations. The driving factors for the adoption of technologies are a combination of demand-related activities together with research efforts. These two most important factors assist in balancing economic efficiency with environmental sustainability. Adopting technologies for sustainable farming systems involves uncertainty and tradeoffs. The tradeoff is experienced when there is a necessity to employ a variety of evolving technologies and farm practices from various stakeholders. Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) first launched in 2009 is an integrated approach to managing landscapes and guiding the management of agriculture in the era of climate change. Resource inputs and interactions from multiple stakeholders are important to address the interlinked challenges of food security and climate change. The climate-smart agriculture initiative proposed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has attracted international attention. Smart agriculture (SA) has since been recognized as an influential trend contributing to agricultural development. Therefore, encouraging farmers to adopt digital technologies and mobile devices in farming practices has become a policy priority worldwide. However, the literature on the psychological factors driving farmers’ intentions to adopt SA technologies remains limited. The adoption of technologies for smart agriculture is a challenging and dynamic issue for some of the stakeholders namely, farmers, agri-business, and policy-makers. The challenges faced by Indian agriculturists in the year 2022 are in the areas of conserving resources, climate changes, and carbon footprint, decreasing biological diversity, and many more. The utilization of digital innovations in the agricultural sector especially, IoTs in farming, smart agriculture machines and many more emphasis in recent years is coordinating with the adoption of technologies for smart agriculture that is the next breakthrough in the rapid progress of technologies. Smart agricultural techniques, a big leap from traditional farming are based on certainty and predictability and involve the use of robotics, automation, and cloud software systems that have a real potential to deliver a more productive and sustainable forms of agricultural production. Global Positioning System (GPS) allows farmers to accurately navigate to specific locations in the field, year after year, to collect soil samples or monitor crop conditions. Smart Agriculture is also implemented using IoT in such a way to keep the cost minimized and provide a simple platform to monitor the parameters for the growth of crops through the internet over IoT. IoT-based smart farming is a network typically designed with sensors that keep a check on light, humidity, temperature, soil moisture to monitor the crop field and automate farming activities. The biggest challenges faced by IoT in the agricultural sector are lack of information, high adoption costs, security concerns, etc. Natural resources, such as land, water, soil, and genetic resources must be better managed so that more productive and resilient agriculture can be achieved. Indian farmers need help to develop climate-smart agricultural practices that can adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change, but also have the potential to increase food production. Smart agriculture is a necessity that can be utilized in one form of smart farming that is much more efficient than traditional methods. With the right data, farmers will be able to take timely decisions, on what crop to sow, when to sow it, and what method to use.
