Cloud Computing-Based Smart Agriculture

Abstract

This development has also affected the studies of agriculture. Agriculture is an important source of income in the world's most populous countries. In countries like India, China, and others, it is a major source of wealth and livelihood. Cloud computing and the internet of things for agriculture will improve production cost management, performance tracking, and maintenance, benefiting both farmers and the country as a whole. The focus of this chapter is on the use of smart drones, and instant data from drones for crop management and computing technologies will help get it started. Despite the use of precision gardening in other countries, Indian agriculture needs to be modernized through the use of technology to increase productivity, wealth distribution, and cost management. In this chapter, the authors propose a comprehensive smart agriculture paradigm based on the following technological advances: sensors, internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, mobile computing, and big data analytics
