Middleware and cloud computing technologies for the automation of agriculture production systems through the integration in the internet of things

Abstract

Agriculture, as a foundational sector of primary production and a critical factor in global food security, is called upon to increase its productivity by approximately 60% by the end of the 21st century, according to estimates by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This demand, compounded by the rapidly growing global population and increasing pressure on natural resources, necessitates not only a quantitative but also a qualitative restructuring of agricultural practices, integrating sustainable intensification approaches that align with the principles of ecological management and biodiversity conservation. The concept of Agriculture 4.0, which has emerged in recent years as an adaptation of Industry 4.0 principles to the agricultural sector, focuses on advanced digitization and automation technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data analytics. These collectively aim to create a "smart" agricu ...
