abstract

  • Agriculture is crucial to human life. It is the main food provider, yet it remains prone to climate change and other challenges, notably in developing countries. Some of the most prominent challenges are related to the surveillance and monitoring of climate, water resources, and soil quality. The evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI), embedded systems, and the Internet of Things (IoT) is undeniable. Their adoption at a large scale in agricultural activities offers a great opportunity to overcome many of these challenges. Unfortunately, their adoption in many countries is still limited, and farmers are still the most forgotten of this evolution towards agriculture 4.0. In this context, IoT-embedded systems can play a major role as a technology mediator that mutually boosts the productivity of farmlands and promote A.I. in agricultural fields. A distinctive feature of this study is to review and investigate the most suitable solutions for rural eras and familial agriculture. To this end, the present chapter proposes a study and design of a low-cost local weather station for local farmers. The proposed solution is based on the IoT networking systems to establish a Human-Technology-Environment relationship. The model is flexible to cluster more sensors and intelligent algorithms, to overcome issues related to climate uncertainty, which presents a real obstacle in the way to integrating precision in the agricultural sector.
