A Systematic Review of IoT and AI Technologies in Indian Agricultural Practices

Abstract

Sustainable agriculture in India is facing numerous challenges, including an increase in atmospheric temperature, resource depletion, and higher productivity to feed a growing population. The amalgamation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) offers revolutionary solutions for addressing these challenges and promoting sustainable farming practices. This promise of AI and IoT technologies enhancing agricultural efficiency, reducing waste, and optimizing resource management in India is discussed. Indian farmers can utilize the strength of AI to know current information on soil health, weather patterns, irrigation needs, and pest control. The paper also discusses the barriers to adoption, including technological infrastructure, affordability, and the need for digital literacy among farmers. Furthermore, it highlights the integrated application of AI and IoT technologies, along with comprehensive results and a gap analysis, as a strategic approach to advancing sustainable agriculture and ensuring food security in India. The findings underscore the potential of these technologies to enhance environmental stewardship and strengthen economic resilience within the agricultural sector.
