IoT and AI for smart agriculture in resource-constrained environments: challenges, opportunities and solutions

Climate change is an undeniable reality with far-reaching and profound implications for agriculture and, subsequently, global food security. The highly vulnerable farming communities in underdeveloped and developing countries can overcome resource and capacity constraints with the help of technology, particularly the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), making agriculture smarter and more resilient to climate change. This work aims to enrich existing research on smart agriculture by focusing on its applicability in resource-constrained environments. In this context, it presents a detailed overview of the technologies enabling smart agriculture, highlights the challenges and opportunities…
