IoT (Internet of Things) systems have the potential to increase cost savings and efficiencies in agriculture in several ways:

Precision Agriculture: IoT sensors can collect real-time data on crop growth, soil moisture, temperature, and other environmental factors. This data can be used to optimise crop management, reduce waste, and increase yields. For example, farmers can use IoT data to determine the precise amount of water and fertilizer needed for a specific crop at a particular time, reducing the amount of resources wasted.

Remote Monitoring and Control: IoT systems enable farmers to remotely monitor and control irrigation systems, fertiliser applications, and other farming processes. This can save time, reduce labour costs, and ensure that crops receive the correct amount of water and nutrients at the right time.

Livestock Management: IoT sensors can be used to monitor the health and well-being of livestock, including their feeding habits, weight, and activity levels. This data can detect health issues early and prevent disease outbreaks, reducing the need for expensive treatments and increasing overall productivity.

Predictive Analytics: IoT systems can use data from sensors and other sources to provide predictive analytics, which can help farmers make informed decisions about crop management, planting schedules, and other factors. For example, predictive analytics can help farmers identify the best time to plant crops based on weather patterns and soil conditions, increasing the likelihood of a successful harvest.

IoT systems can help farmers increase efficiency, reduce waste, and save money by providing real-time data and analytics to optimise farming processes.
