Farming automation requires a whole lot of new skills and use of technology for achieving a substantial increase in the crop yield. Smart farming enables the use of technology in tracking, monitoring, and analyzing various farming operations. Internet of things (IoT) platform is formed with sensors and actuators, cameras and drones, telecommunication technologies, edge devices, cloud servers, and specialized hardware and software. This chapter will discuss the available hardware and software technology elements that can be used in farm automation. The chapter is comprised of four sections. The first section provides an overview of precision agriculture and smart farming. The second section provides the literature review of existing research. The third section describes IoT techniques, sensors, and cloud and edge computing solutions for the implementation of smart farming. The fourth section provides a few case studies of the application of IoT in smart farming. Specifically, the chapter will describe the IoT platform solution for complete farm automation.

The chapter starts with a focus on the current scenario of the digitalization in agriculture space. It pinpoints the reason behind the need and explains the emergence of new Agtech-based startups that work on new innovative digital technologies. The chapter also tries to discuss the post-COVID implications along with the merits of digitalization in the agricultural domain. Apart from this, it also discusses different aspects of the digitalization on the agriculture space in general that includes the concept of telematics, precision farming, blockchain, artificial intelligence, etc. At last, some of the main challenges like the issue of connectivity, interoperability, portability, and need of public and private sector cooperation were discussed.
