Abstract

This review paper examines the potential of Next-Generation Agriculture, which is based on the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to enable sustainable and efficient farming practices. IoT sensors and devices have the potential to revolutionize agriculture by enabling farmers to monitor and manage their crops and livestock with greater precision, efficiency, and sustainability. The paper discusses the key benefits and challenges of IoT-based agriculture, such as improved resource management, increased yields, and reduced environmental impact. It also explores the various applications of IoT in agriculture, including precision farming, smart irrigation, livestock management, and supply chain management. The review paper concludes that Next-Gen Agriculture has the potential to revolutionize the agriculture industry by enabling farmers to achieve sustainability goals, improve yields, and reduce costs, while also addressing key environmental concerns. However, several challenges such as data security, privacy, and infrastructure limitations need to be addressed to realize the full potential of IoT-based sustainable agriculture.
