Abstract

Traditional farming methods, effective for generations, struggle to meet rising global food demands due to limitations in productivity, efficiency, and sustainability amid climate change and resource scarcity. Precision agriculture presents a viable solution by optimizing resource use, enhancing efficiency, and fostering sustainable practices through data-driven decision-making supported by advanced sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. This review examines various smart sensors used in precision agriculture, including soil sensors for moisture, pH, and plant stress sensors etc. These sensors deliver real-time data that enables informed decision-making, facilitating targeted interventions like…
