IoT, Big Data & Smart Farming is the Future of Agriculture.

The farming industry will become more important than ever before in the next few years,simply because the world needs to produce 70% more food in 2050 than it did in 2006 in order to feed the growing population of the Earth, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.

 The food security challenge has made farmers and agricultural companies turn to the Internet of Things for analytics and greater production capabilities.See 

 The IoT will push the future of farming to the next level by using smart agriculture ,which is already becoming more popular among farmers. High tech farming(agritech) is quickly becoming the standard mode of operation especially with the advent of agricultural drones and sensor. 

 Farmers have already begun employing some high tech farming techniques and technologies in order to improve the efficiency of their day-to-day work. For example, sensors placed in fields allow farmers to obtain detailed maps of both the topography and resources in the area, as well as variables such as acidity and temperature of the soil. They can also access climate forecasts to predict weather patterns in the coming days and weeks. 

 Farmers can use their smartphones to remotely monitor their equipment, crops, and livestock, as well as obtain stats on their livestock feeding and produce. They can even use this technology to run statistical predictions for their crops and livestock. Drones have become an invaluable tool for farmers to survey their lands and generate crop data. More
