From Soil to Simulation: Digital Twins and the Future of Smart Agriculture
摘要
The agricultural sector is presently undergoing a technological transformation due to the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) equipment, sensing networks, and Digital Twins (DTs) technologies. This chapter examines the integration of real-time data from soil, crops, livestock, and various environmental elements into a dynamic computerized model of actual field circumstances. Utilizing decision trees, farmers can model various agricultural scenarios, forecast results, and make informed, data-driven decisions to enhance production, sustainability, and resource efficiency. The chapter also explores the crucial function of IoT and sensor networks in facilitating dependable, adaptable DTs applications, encompassing precision agriculture, disease detection, yield assessment, and animal surveillance. It also highlighted critical technical difficulties that must be eliminated, including data interoperability, remote accessibility, and cybersecurity concerns. In conclusion, the chapter portrays DTs as a revolutionary instrument that facilitates the transition from traditional agriculture to intelligent, adaptable, and forward-thinking farming practices.
