Smart Agriculture in Nigeria With Iot; A Reality
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presentation indicates that the adoption of smart agriculture should no longer be regarded as hype but reality in Nigeria. The paper posits that ICTs and the innovative surround technologies which enable connectedness of devices in smart agriculture have since penetrated Nigeria’s industrial and living space. In the paper, the authors briefly discussed these technologies,namely:Internet of Things (IoT); Big Data & Big Data Analytics; Remote Sensing & RFID; Machine Learning Engine – Artificial Intelligence; GeoPositioning Systems (GPS); Robotics & Cloud Robotics. The paper then went ahead to narrate related breakthroughs on successful introduction of smart agriculture, using some of these technologies. It concluded by arguing and reasoning thatthe possiblesolution to the present land-use pressure and fast depleting agrohydro-ecological-potential plaguing many parts of Nigeria could be found in the successful adoption of smart agriculture, - smart cattle rearing, smart soil mapping and smart management of the country’s ecological/water expanses.
