With the rapid development of science and technology and the continuous growth of global population, agricultural production is facing more and more challenges.In order to meet the needs of human beings for food and agricultural products, while protecting the environment and achieving sustainable development, smart agriculture came into being.This paper will review the development of smart agriculture from the perspective of senior engineers.And analyzes its importance and the function in the modern agriculture.
Traditional agriculture mainly relies on manpower and simple mechanical tools for production, which is inefficient and has a great impact on the environment.With the growth of global population and the acceleration of urbanization,Traditional agriculture is increasingly difficult to meet human needs for the quality and quantity of agricultural products.In addition, climate change, water shortage and other issues have further exacerbated the challenges of agricultural production.Therefore, the transformation and upgrading of agricultural production has become an urgent need.
From the 1980s to the 1990s, with the rise of computer and Internet technology,Some developed countries have begun to try to apply information technology to agricultural production.Intelligent agriculture at this stage is mainly manifested in simple data processing and information management.Such as the collection and analysis of agrometeorological data and the statistics of sales information of agricultural products.
In the 21st century,The rapid development of Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies has provided strong technical support for smart agriculture.At this stage, smart agriculture began to realize the functions of real-time monitoring of farmland environment, precise fertilization, automatic planting and so on.The efficiency and quality of agricultural production have been significantly improved.
In recent years, with the wide application of 5G, cloud computing, edge computing and other technologies,Intelligent agriculture has entered a new stage of development.Advanced equipment such as farmland sensors, unmanned aerial vehicles and robots have been widely used in agricultural production.It realizes the intellectualization and automation of the whole process of agricultural production.At the same time, the construction of agricultural big data platform also provides more accurate and personalized decision support for agricultural production.
monitor the farmland environment and crop growth in real time through various sensors and devices deployed in the farmland.Provide data support for agricultural production.
Mining and analyzing massive agricultural data to discover rules and problems in agricultural production.To provide basis for farmers and the government to make decisions.
Realize intelligent management and optimization of agricultural production process through machine learning, in-depth learning and other technologies.
With the help of automation equipment and technology, realize the automation and intelligence of agricultural production, and reduce the labor intensity of farmers.
Significantly improve the efficiency and quality of agricultural production through the application of smart agriculture technology.To meet the growing demand for food.
reduce resource waste and environmental pollution through accurate data analysis and decision support.To realize the optimal allocation of resources and sustainable development.
Ensure the quality and safety of agricultural products through the whole process of monitoring and traceability system.Protect the health rights of consumers.
The development of smart agriculture will drive economic growth and increase employment opportunities in rural areas.Promote rural revitalization and urban-rural integration.
The development of smart agriculture has witnessed the deep integration of science and technology and agriculture, and has injected new vitality into the development of modern agriculture.With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios,We have reason to believe that smart agriculture will play a greater role in the future and bring more far-reaching impact on global agricultural production.As practitioners of the Internet of Things, we have the responsibility and obligation to promote the development of this process.To contribute to the construction of a more efficient and sustainable agricultural production system.
