Abstract
This review article titled "Precision Farming: The Power of AI and IoT Technologies" delves into the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) in revolutionising modern agricultural practices. This paper explores the integration of cutting-edge technologies, including AI, IoT, remote sensing, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), in addressing the challenges posed by diminishing agricultural resources and an expanding population. Precision farming, empowered by these technologies, offers a paradigm shift from traditional farming methods to a more data-driven, efficient, and environmentally sustainable approach. The use of AI and IoT in agriculture has led to significant advancements in crop monitoring, resource management, and decision-making processes. However, the implementation of these technologies is not without challenges, such as accessibility, connectivity, and the complexity of integration. This article reviews the current state and future prospects of precision farming, emphasising its role in enhancing agricultural productivity while minimising environmental impact. The potential for future innovations in this field is vast, promising a new era of efficient and sustainable farming practices essential for global food security.
