According to a report by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the UN the current world population is likely to reach 11,200 million in 2100. World Bank data for agricultural land (% of land area) for 264 countries shows a meagre increase in land use in agriculture of approximate 2% in 53 years (1961-2014). These data shows that land use in agriculture is fixed, whereas the demand for agriculture produced (food) increase by every passing year. In order to match the global demand for affordably priced food by 2050 the yearly food production must increase by more than 1% annually. This paper discusses the prospects of application of internet of things (IoT) in e-agriculture to meet the growing demand for food for the exponentially growing population. Finally, the paper discusses an IoT setup to measure the atmospheric sensor's having the prospect in e-agriculture as a use case.
