ITECH1100: Exploring 5G's Transformative Impact on Agriculture

This report examines the potential impact of 5G technology on the agriculture industry, highlighting its role in facilitating the adoption of disruptive tools and techniques to increase productivity. It discusses how the Internet of Things (IoT) combined with 5G can significantly enhance farming practices. The analysis considers Lawrence Lessig’s regulation, addressing legal support, architectural constraints in remote areas, economic limitations due to high implementation costs, and ethical concerns related to privacy and social threats. A scenario involving crop monitoring is presented, contrasting traditional manual methods with the efficiency of 5G-enabled IoT systems. The report includes a video script that explains the benefits of 5G for agriculture, such as enabling farmers to monitor crops and fields effectively using IoT and drones. The document concludes by emphasizing the transformative potential of 5G in modernizing agricultural practices.

2DIGITAL REVOLUTION: 5G & AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY
RESEARCH
The agriculture is one of the major industries for a country. It engages a large
percentage of the country however; the traditional means of farming was proving to be non-
efficient for the farmers and hence IT was introduced in the farming. The IT (Information
technology) has proved to be of great assistance for the farming. Another notable fact of IT in
the agriculture is that the most prominent factor that make the discussed association possible
is the internet. The impact of the internet in making the association of the IT and agriculture
will further enhance post introduction of the 5G. 5G abbreviated for fifth generation is the
latest offering by the internet which is capable of offering a high data transmission rate and
more stable connectivity. The impact of 5G on the agriculture industry is the discussion of the
portfolio.
BRAINSTORMING
The potential impact of 5G of the agriculture industry has been discussed as follows:
1. The farmers will be able to connect to the disruptive tools & techniques that are
capable of assisting in increasing the productivity of the agriculture industry with
assistance of 5G.
2. The agriculture industry can draw parallels from the food, wine and other relevant
industries to understand the use of 5G.
3. Internet of things together with the 5G internet will have a stronger impact on the
agriculture industry.
REGULATIONS & ETHICS
The impact taken in context to discuss the Lawrence Lessig’s regulation is the impact
of 5G and Internet of things together on the agriculture.

3DIGITAL REVOLUTION: 5G & AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY
1. The law supports the use of Internet of things and 5G in the agriculture industry
because a well-structured set of protocols have been defined by the regulator bodies
for the use of internet and the Internet of Things.
2. The architecture of the 5G act as a constraint because the agriculture industry is
mostly located in the remote location where the architecture for the internet is weak
and hence may block the impact.
3. The market or economics will also act as constraint for the impact because of the
high cost involved in implementing the technologies in agriculture industry.
4. The ethics also acts as a constraint for the impact because internet and internet of
things have association with privacy & social threats that are unethical in nature.
DISRUPTION
The discussed scenario has taken the account of the monitoring of the planted crops in
the agriculture industry.
Before implementation of the 5G internet in the agriculture industry the things were
done manually where the only actor was the farmer. The events in organising are the farmer
manually develops the physical barrier for the protection of the crops and monitors the health
of the crops. Then the decision points that are part of the discussed process are the whether
the farmer should develop a physical barrier for the protection or hire a watchman. Secondly,
the decision point is the analysis of the plants. The outcome from the expected scenario is a
healthy crop.

4DIGITAL REVOLUTION: 5G & AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY
After the implementation of the internet and the internet of things the actors increase
from farmer to the farmer and the IoT system were the communication channel is the 5G
internet. The events included are the interaction between the sensors installed in the field and
the IoT server through 5G internet and the IoT and the customer. The 5G internet’s task in the
deemed scenario is to make the events happen. The decision points in the process are the
actions that needs to be taken on identification of threats. The outcome of the process is to
ensure safety of the crops.

VIDEO SCRIPT
Hello everyone I am “name”
From “University name”
Today we are going to discuss about the 5G.
It is the latest offering by the ISP’s “Internet service providers”
It is capable of offering a substantial speed for the users.
The users will be able to enjoy a fast data transmission speed and a reliable network.
The technology in context will offer significant benefit to all the industries.
We are taking consideration of the agriculture.
The agriculture is one of the industries were most of the operations are done manually.
However, with introduction of the 5G and its associates the scenario will change completely.

6DIGITAL REVOLUTION: 5G & AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY
The 5G will enable the agriculture associates to learn disruptive technologies that can assist
them in agricultural processes.
Adopting Internet based technologies such as the internet of things will prove to be greatly
helpful for the agriculture industry. It will enable the farmers to monitor the crops and fields.
Additionally, a combination of 5G internet, IoT and the drones will be the most prominent
because it will offer ample of benefits.
Other advantages can also be leveraged by the technology in context in agriculture industry.
So, friends before signing off I would like to say thank you for watching the video.
Feel free to share, comment like and subscribe.
