Growing Adoption of Smart Farming and Precision Agriculture
Modern agriculture is increasingly leveraging the latest technologies to boost productivity and sustainability simultaneously. The integration of IoT, robotics, big data analytics and other digital solutions marks the rise of smart farming and precision agriculture. Advanced monitoring systems and controlled-environment greenhouses now allow farming even in difficult terrain and climates previously unsuitable for traditional agriculture. Remote sensing, GPS guidance and variable-rate systems further enhance efficiency and reduce wastage of key resources like water, fertilizers and agricultural chemicals.
Water is one of the key resources being optimized using smart irrigation systems for each crop and soil type. Wireless sensor networks, coupled with automatic water level controllers are enabling closed-loop, feedback-based irrigation. Soil moisture, temperature and salinity sensors send real-time updates on crop water needs to connected controllers. These devices then regulate water supply from tanks, borewells or municipal lines precisely as required instead of relying on time-based scheduling. The use of IoT-enabled automatic controllers in the rapidly digitizing agriculture sector is growing steadily. It optimizes irrigation based on multiple dynamic parameters for maximum productivity using minimal water.
Precision agriculture techniques based on Big Data are now being adopted by large commercial farms globally to stay ahead of competition. For smallholder farmers also, affordable smart irrigation solutions are opening avenues to improve livelihoods despite challenging conditions like climate change. Supported by government digitization drives and technology companies, more farmers are embracing digital and data-driven agriculture practices every year. As automation and AI continue penetrating the sector, demand for intelligent irrigation controllers capable of precision water management is expected to further increase significantly.
For instance, in October 2022, Swagtron, a prominent U.S.-based manufacturer of affordable electric and non-electric micromobility solutions, unveiled Shuttle Zipboard, a ground-breaking second-generation hoverboard tailored for children and adolescents. This innovative design seamlessly blends the aesthetics and feel of skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding into a single board, providing young riders with an exhilarating experience that emulates the excitement of these beloved board sports at a fraction of the cost and hassle typically associated with the necessary gear and facilities.
