Milestone 2
Problem or Challenges arises with implementation of IoT in farming
This part of the report will discuss about the problems faced with the implementation of IoT in
the farming. The main problem faced by the implementation of this technology in smart farming is that it
becomes difficult to test the soil and monitor the activity related to the soil (Chandra, et al., 2017).
Researches state that , due to adverse climatic changes the smart farming is getting affected. The
agriculture field also gets affected as the quality of the soil gets deteriorate, with excessive use of
advanced technologies and chemicals(Gubbi, et al., 2013). As the climatic changes occurs , the
temperature increases and the environment gets heated also the level of the carbon dioxide increases in
the nature with the implementation of technology (Ryu, et al., 2015). The challenges faced are , the
technology will decrease the quality of the soil and the soil will remain fertile for very few years. Also
with this there will be no need of human power, thus the employment for farmers will come in danger
(Fernando, Loke & Rahayu, 2013). Irrespective of the impacts of using IoT in farming , there lies a huge
benefit of IoT in smart farming , this includes predicting diseases that are likely to come with yielding
certain crops, pre monitoring of the soil (Hashem, et al., 2015).
