Challenges and Solutions in Implementing IoT in Farming

About me: To be filled by the student.
Project Title: IOT in Farming
Blog Site Address:
Project Problem Domain:
This research is done to find out the challenges that are faced in the implementation of
the IoT in Farming. This research will talk about the problem related to the IoT in farming
and state the solutions for the problems. The major problems in the IoT in farming is the poor
internet connectivity in farms. Most of the farms are located in the remote areas where the
connectivity of the internet is not strong enough to facilitate the fast transmission speeds. The
communication route of the internet will be obstructed by different obstructions such as the
canopies, crops and some other physical barriers. Another problem that is faced during the
implementation of the IoT in farming is that the cost of the hardware are very high and as a
result of which the farmers still rely on the less developed farming technologies which results
in less production.
Background/Context/Description:
The definition of the Internet of Things is that the actuators and the sensors that are
embedded in the physical objects are connected to each other using the wireless and wired
connections. The term IoT was originated in the year 1999. It was initially designed to
promote the RFID technology. The IoT in came in popularization in the year 2010/2011 and
reached the mass market in the early of 2014. There are various similar concept but the IoT is
till date the most popular term that can be used to represent this phenomenon.
