摘要

The Internet of Things has transformed the face of farming by making old-style farming smart farming. Despite experts recognizing its value, only a few studies have explored the role IoT can play in making farming sustainable and helping the climate. The paper focuses on a smart farming model and explores how it would fit in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This research identifies that smart farming contributes to different goals that include Goal 1: Clean Water and Sanitation, Goal 2: Cheap and Clean Energy, Goal 3: Good Jobs and Growth, Goal 4: New Ideas and Infrastructure, Goal 5: Sustainable Cities, and Goal 6: Smart Use of Resources. The study explores the challenges faced during application of IoT in farming. IoT systems can increase production, reduce wastage, and are environmentally friendly. However, issues like cost, difficulty in setup, connectivity problems, and data security are major concerns. These problems could be overcome by farmers, technology companies, and the government working in tandem. In addition, the paper does an in-depth study about the efficient use of resources like water, fertilizer, and energy through IoT-enabled sensors. Through the sensors, it becomes possible to monitor the moisture level of soil and analyze the trends of weather for improvement in irrigation and fertilization, thereby reducing waste and conserving resources. IoT sensors facilitate farmers in monitoring weather conditions and crop health to take informed decisions and reduce risks related to crop diseases and pests.
