Technological growth has intervened in our life tremendously. You can find the use
of IoT or Internet of Things in almost all the aspects of our life, whether it is
healthcare or home automation, connected devices are transforming our loves like
never before. While we talk about the intervention of technology in our lives, it
becomes important to mention that it is not only technology companies that are
reaping ist benefits, rather IoT finds a great applicant in agriculture. Nowadays, we
are talking about smart agriculture, which majorly relies on the use of technology
in the field of agriculture, and hence we have the term agritech buzzing around. A
lot of companies are hiring IoT experts who can help in blending this technology
with the different aspects of agriculture.

While we are talking about the widespread use of technology in the field of
agriculture, it becomes important to mention that we will see the IoT installation in
agriculture to rise to 75 million in 2020. At the same time, the market size of
agritech is expected to reach $15.3 million, which was only $5 million by 2025.
Here it becomes important to mention that this market is growing, and new
businesses and startups are coming in every day. With this growth, there is also a
steady demand for IoT training which can use this technology to come up with
innovative products that will help in boosting the agricultural growth. And hence,
there is also a growing demand for IoT certifications, which will allow helo in
raising the workforce who has proficient in this field.

Use of IoT in agriculture
● Better data collection- One of the first uses of IoT is in collecting data that
will be sent across to different farmers. With the help of this data, they can get
to know about the quality of soil, what kind of fertilizers would be required,
and how they can enhance the productivity of their land.
● Enhance the production- Many smart devices help in foreseeing the
productivity, which will help the farmers to adopt the right measure to work
upon it.

● Enhances efficiency- It is very important for farmers to work on enhancing
the efficiency of their work; this is directly proportional to the productivity of
their land. With automated smart devices, farmers can automate various
processes like irrigation, pets control, etc.
● Tracking the animals- Managing large herds can be difficult, but with the
sensor mounted on the animals, people can help in tracking the movement of
animals. It will help in keeping a better track of the animals.
