Abstract
The increasing global population is accompanied by a corresponding rise in the demand for food and agricultural resources. In the present situation, it is of utmost importance to prioritize the establishment of sustainability and efficiency in agricultural production. This study presents a complete methodology for enabling the agricultural sector to leverage smart energy management techniques, thereby providing a strategic framework for improving production and optimizing resource allocation. The core of this strategy is centered around the notion of Energy of Things (EOT), an emerging paradigm that utilizes the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance the efficiency of energy usage and distribution within agricultural settings. The use of EOT (Internet of Things) technology is implemented in order to effectively oversee and regulate diverse facets of agricultural activities, encompassing irrigation systems, machinery operations, and lighting mechanisms. This integration of EOT technology results in enhanced utilization of resources and augmented crop productivity. In this study, we propose the integration of EOT (Evolutionary Optimization Technique) with intelligent resource allocation to develop a comprehensive system that can effectively respond to fluctuating environmental circumstances, varying resource availability, and diverse crop requirements. This integrated system aims to achieve optimal usage of resources for agricultural purposes. This study examines the fundamental elements and advantages of the proposed system, with a particular focus on its capacity to transform the agricultural sector and promote sustainable food production.
