Integration of smart sensors and IOT in precision agriculture: trends, challenges and future prospectives
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 ag…
Integration of sensor networks with AI and ML platforms enables real-time monitoring and predictive analytics for disease outbreaks and yield forecasting, allowing targeted irrigation, fertilization and pest management that optimizes resource use and improves sustainable farming efficiency.
Deploying IoT-enabled smart sensors with AI for precision agriculture is limited by high initial investment costs, complexities in data management, requirements for technical expertise, data security and privacy concerns, and connectivity issues in remote agricultural areas.
High initial investment costs, complex data management, need for technical expertise, data security and privacy concerns, and poor connectivity in remote areas constrain adoption and scaling.

Certified into the record
How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0527 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
