Tiivistelmä
The world's population is 8.062 billion in 2023, and in 2010, it was 7.001 billion. Due to the huge gap in population, we can analyze that the population is expected to increase more in coming years. The basic need for food is expected to grow.
The use of IoT is growing rapidly, offering innovative technologies. In this thesis, it shows the application of IoT like sensor for measuring temperature, lighting, soil condition and humidity works in Finnish agriculture. The thesis highlights the Finnish unique landscape, climate, and their most agricultural time. This thesis addresses the challenges on implementing like connectivity issue, weather, limited agricultural land. Furthermore, it covers the opportunity of using IoT after explaining the challenges in implementing smart agriculture and wider the information about the design and the architecture on smart irrigation.
During an interview with Markku Hartikainen, an expert in IoT solutions at Centria, he shared insights from his experience working on various project involving sensors and processes. This interview expanded the research on smart farming, especially in smart irrigation. This thesis highlights data-driven solutions, real-time monitoring, and sensors and Finnish agriculture. Furthermore, it also explains the market trend of IoT and its analysis.
