The Convergence of Deep Learning, IoT, Sensors, and Farm Machinery in Agriculture

This chapter addresses the profound influence of deep learning, the internet of things (IoT), sensors, and agricultural machinery on contemporary agriculture. These technologies improve productivity, efficiency, and sustainability throughout the production cycle, from tillage and planting to harvesting and post-harvest processing. Deep learning algorithms monitor crops and soil strength, detect illnesses, and forecast yields. At the same time, IoT sensors gather up-to-date information on soil quality, weather patterns, and crop development. Implementing automation in agriculture decreases the need for manual work and enhances operational efficiency. This chapter highlights the importance of using data to make informed decisions in precision agriculture, focusing on using sensor data and imaging techniques to improve the efficiency of resources and reduce environmental harm. Modern agriculture can effectively tackle food security and ecological concerns and provide food for a growing global population by employing inventive techniques and promoting partnerships.
