Smart agriculture

Present state and history

  • Urban smart agriculture
  • Evolution of agriculture
  • Smart agriculture: agriculture with ICT
  • Benefits
    • Informed decision
    • In depth analysis
    • All kinds of monitoring, supply chain, crop, water, environmental1
      • Crop monitoring: the systematic observation and assessment of crops throughout their growth cycle to improve productivity and make informed decisions
      • Water management: optimize crop yield while minimizing waste of water resource
      • Plant disease identification: helps in crop yield improvement
      • Precision agriculture: promise better yield, and less water and fertizers
      • Environment monitoring: schedule irrigation, and crop protection for bad weather
  • Data sources
    • Terrestial network
    • LAP layer
    • HAP layer
    • Sattleite layer
  • Using AI to automate and interpret data: ML, DL
  • Challenges:
    • Data security
    • Network
    • Device threats
    • Privacy

Summaey

  • Earth observations are time series data that offer intelligence to climate and agriculture to make these smart.
    • Rely on connected airborne platforms and surface based platforms
  • Climate study is connected with change detection
  • Hard to determine change agent
  • Smart agriculture: the most promising to benefit from Earth obervation
  • 7 areas:
    • Supply chain
    • Crop monitoring
    • Water management
    • Precision agriculture
    • Environment monitoring
    • Soil health monitoring
    • Livestock management
  • Generate big data, hard for manual use, but good for AI
