Smart farming can be referred to as the 4.0 green revolution in the field of agriculture combining agriculture methodologies with technology – Sensors & Actuators, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics and Drones to achieve desired efficiencies of production with managed cost.
The use of smart farming tools is possible due to the use of sensors connected to a network. What is a sensor? A sensor is an electrotechnical device. It: The signal is read and interpreted by an instrument. What can a sensor do? How is Digital Farm Technology Transforming Agriculture?

connected sensors
These connected sensors can send instant alerts straight to a farmer’s smartphone when any disruption occurs, helping them to take action swiftly. Some of the most widely used smarter agriculture devices include weather stations that combine data from various smart farming sensors.
the future this smart farming revolution depicts, pesticide and fertilizer use will drop while overall efficiency will rise. IoT technologies will enable better food traceability, which in turn will lead to increased food safety.
