Milestone 2
Problem or Challenges faced by Internet of Things in Farming
The problem faced with the implementation of IoT in farming is that the identification of soil
testing becomes difficult and monitoring related to this becomes difficult (Chandra, et al., 2017). Recent
researches states that the smart farming gets affected with the climatic changes those results in affecting
the agriculture. The agriculture gets affected in several ways such as the nutritional food qualities change.
This also affects the nature as the temperature increases, level of the carbon dioxide in the nature also
increases, the ozone layer is depleted with time (Ryu, et al., 2015) . In addition to this as the chemicals
will be used while farming, the soil will lose its fertility after yielding for 2 to 3 times (Gubbi, et al.,
2013). The challenges that are likely to come with the implementation of this technology, is that it will
reduce the need of human power, thus to some extent it will remove employment. But there is huge
importance of IoT in farming as this helps in monitoring on several works such as scanning of water
tanks, predicting diseases that are related to crops and many more (Hashem, et al., 2015).
