Abstract

This review comprehensively examines the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) in revolutionizing agricultural practices. It highlights how these technologies are pivotal in enhancing crop productivity, optimizing resource use, and ensuring sustainability in response to the challenges of a growing global population and environmental concerns. The article synthesizes key studies to showcase advancements in smart aquaponics and marine farming, emphasizing the the importance of implementation of AI and IoT in agriculture faces significant challenges, including high costs, a digital skills gap among farmers, data management issues, and the need for robust technology. The review also addresses the socio-economic impacts, such as potential job displacement due to automation. Looking ahead, the article suggests that overcoming these challenges will require concerted efforts in technological innovation, policy-making, and education. The future of AI and IoT in agriculture is seen as promising, with potential for further advancements and wider adoption. The integration of these technologies with emerging fields like blockchain could lead to more secure, efficient, and transparent agricultural practices, contributing significantly to global food security and environmental sustainability.
