IoT is used in agriculture?
A system is built for monitoring the crop field with the help of sensors (light, humidity, temperature, soil moisture,
etc.) and automating the irrigation system
AGRO 4.0 IR 11
IoT-based smart farming
The Internet of Things refers to the ever-growing network of physical objects that feature an IP address for internet connectivity, and
the communication that occurs between these objects and other Internet-enabled devices and systems.

Selected climate smart options to assess farmers' preferences.
AGRO 4.0 IR 15
WATER-SMART
A. Rainwater Harvesting (RH)- Collection of rainwater not allowing to run-off and use for
agricultural in rainfed/dry areas and other purposes on-site.
B. Drip Irrigation (DI)- * Application of water directly to the root zone of crops and minimize
water loss
C. Laser Land Levelling (LL)-Levelling the field ensures uniform distribution of water in the field and reduces
water loss (also improves nutrient use efficiency
D. Furrow Irrigated Bed Planting (FIBP)-This method offers more effective control over irrigation and
drainage as well as rainwater management during the monsoon(also improves nutrient use efficiency)
E. Drainage Management (DM)- Removal of excess water (flood) through water control structure
F. Cover Crops Method (CCM)-Reduces evaporation loss of soil water (also adds nutrients into the soil)
Selected climatesmart options to assess farmers' preferences
AGRO 4.0 IR 16
2. Energy-smart
A. Zero Tillage/Minimum Tillage (ZT/MT) - Reduces amount of energy use in land preparation. In long-run, it also
improves water infiltration and organic matter retention into the soil
3. Nutrient-smart
A. Site Specific Integrated Nutrient Management (SINM)-Optimum supply of soil nutrients over time and
space matching to the requirements of crops with right product, rate, time and place
B. Green Manuring (GM)-• Cultivation of legumes in a cropping system. This practice improves nitrogen supply and soil quality
C. Leaf Color Chart (LCC)-• Quantify the required amount of nitrogen use based on greenness of crops. Mostly used for
split dose application in rice but also applicable for maize and wheat crops to detect nitrogen deficiency
D. Intercropping with Legumes (ICL)- Cultivation of legumes with other main crops in alternate rows or mixed. This
practice improves nitrogen supply and soil quality
4. Carbon-smart
A. Agro Forestry (AF)- Promote carbon sequestration including sustainable land use management
B. Concentrate Feeding for Livestock (CF)- Reduces nutrient losses and livestock requires low amount of feed
C. Fodder Management (FM)- Promote carbon sequestration including sustainable land use management
D. Integrated Pest Management (IPM)- Reduces use of chemicals

6. Knowledge-smart
Contingent Crop Planning (CC)- Climatic risk management plan to cope with major weather related
contingencies like drought, flood, heat/cold stresses during the crop season
Improved Crop Varieties (ICV)-Crop varieties that are tolerant to drought, flood and heat/cold stresses
Seed and Fodder Banks (SFB)-Conservation of seeds of crops and fodders to manage climatic risks
AGRO 4.0 IR 19
SDG’s
AGRO 4.0 IR 20
More than any other sector, agriculture is the common thread which
holds the 17 SDGs together. Investing in the agricultural sector can
address not only hunger and malnutrition but also other challenges
including poverty; water and energy use; climate change; and
unsustainable production and consumption.

GEOPOTATO alerts allow farmers
to protect their crops before blight
occurs, reducing their uncertainty
and losses. Our goal is to scale
this system to provide alerts about
weather and cultivation practices
to reduce farmer risk and increase
inputs, yields and profits.
Theoretically, the service can be
expanded to other crops like
tomatoes.

Agriculture 4.0 will no longer depend on applying water, fertilizers, and pesticides uniformly across
entire fields. Instead, farmers will use the minimum quantities required and target very specific areas.
The report further states that, farms and agricultural operations will have to be run very differently, primarily
due to advancements in technology such as sensors, devices, machines, and information technology.
Future agriculture will use sophisticated technologies such as robots, temperature and moisture sensors, aerial
images, and GPS technology. These advanced devices and precision agriculture and robotic systems will allow
farms to be more profitable, efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly.

We see 3 general trends where technology is disrupting industry that we will address: showing specific
examples of solutions with high potential to disrupt the system.
1) Produce differently using new technologies
2) Use new technologies to bring food production to consumers, increasing efficiencies
in the food chain.

Smart bees
BEEODIVERSITY (BEEOMONITORING)
BeeOmonitoring combines nature (bees acting as drones to collect billion of
environmental samples on large surfaces) and technology (software processing the
data).
Through the analysis of samples, BeeOdiversity can identify, source and assess the
level of pollutants (25 heavy metals, 523 pesticides, nitrates, PAH, dioxins, GMO,
radio-activity) and take stock of biodiversity.
BeeOmonitoring makes it possible to
(i) monitor industrial and agricultural pollution;
(ii) assess the quality/diversity of plants;
(iii) make targeted improvement decisions; and
(iv) involve local communities to enhance biodiversity.
No other method can monitor so many pollutants and provide biodiversity metrics as
efficiently.

 Only about 30%-40% of
nutrients are taken up by the
roots when grown in soil.
 Produce is grown vertically on racks
using various LED light and nutrient

We see 3 general trends where technology is disrupting industry that we will address: showing specific examples of solutions with high potential to disrupt the system. 1) Produce differently using new technologies 2) Use new technologies to bring food production to consumers, increasing efficiencies in the food chain. 3) Incorporate cross-industry technologies and applications AGRO 4.0 IR 56

  • 65. Smart bees BEEODIVERSITY (BEEOMONITORING) BeeOmonitoring combines nature (bees acting as drones to collect billion of environmental samples on large surfaces) and technology (software processing the data). Through the analysis of samples, BeeOdiversity can identify, source and assess the level of pollutants (25 heavy metals, 523 pesticides, nitrates, PAH, dioxins, GMO, radio-activity) and take stock of biodiversity. BeeOmonitoring makes it possible to (i) monitor industrial and agricultural pollution; (ii) assess the quality/diversity of plants; (iii) make targeted improvement decisions; and (iv) involve local communities to enhance biodiversity. No other method can monitor so many pollutants and provide biodiversity metrics as efficiently. AGRO 4.0 IR 65

  • 83. Precision farming-AI and IoT in agriculture  Agriculture 4.0 will no longer have to depend on applying water, fertilizers, and pesticides across entire fields.  Instead, farmers will use the minimum quantities, or even completely remove them from the supply chain.  70% production increase by 2050  They will be able to grow crops in arid areas and use abundant and clean resources such as the sun and seawater to grow food.
