Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a game-changing technology that symbolizes the future of computers and telecommunications. Agriculture is the lifeblood of the majority of people on the planet. As a result, sophisticated IT solutions are required to integrate conventional agricultural processes. Modern technology may help manage costs, servicing, and performance monitoring. In today’s agriculture, satellite and aerial photography are critical. Agriculture’s most essential need is irrigation. The appropriate use of water resources is critical, and there is a pressing need to conserve water. Farmers in poor nations, resulting in inefficient use of environmental assets, mostly use traditional agricultural cultivation methods. This chapter highlights the applications of smart agriculture using the concept of IoT and cloud infrastructure. The chapter also discusses the open research challenges in the domain of smart agriculture. Moreover, the cyberattacks on the IoT applications in smart agriculture is also the part of this chapter.
