Abstract

Agriculture 4.0 represents a revolutionary change in current farming methods, made possible by state-of- the art technologies including AI, IoT, etc. This technology driven farming is called precision farming, which attempts to improve the operations and maximize the yields of agriculture and minimize the waste, while taking care of sustainable farming. In this paper we discuss the role of AI and IoT in precision agriculture, with a particular focus on the structure of smart farming systems, significant technical aspects, and examples of use in the real world. It also discusses the difficulties and future directions of AI-IoT convergence in agriculture, such as data security, connectivity, and scalability.
