Is smart agriculture covers IoT and Big Data both? Wondering it can relate to smart agriculture?

Yes smart agriculture can cover both IoT & Big Data Analytics.  IoT sensors & actuators are being deployed at multi-locations for data collections & command initiations whereas big data analytics can be triggered to analyze collected data (both batch historical & real time data) for smarter decision making in agricultural activities. 

Following are some examples for your perusal:

Dear Here’s a summary of both documents (as reported on Inside Privacy):

Big Data

Internet of Things 

Privacy by design should become a key selling point of innovative technologies.

Yes sir you can include smart agriculture with IOT and big data analysis. In IoT all the sensed datas  are processed in the cloud and those datas can be analyzed through big data analysis.

Thank you Ms Sheela Sobana Rani. 

Dear Mr Saif Aldeen Saad Alkadhim, Thank you so much for your very informative and brief answers. It would very helpful.  Can I have full article of " ‘Big data’, the ‘Internet of Things’ and the ‘Internet of Signs". 

Dear Dr Han Ping Fung

Agricultural production and Big Data

To tackle the increasing challenges of agricultural production, the complex agricultural ecosystems need to be better understood. This can happen by means of modern digital technologies that monitor continuously the large quantities of data in an unprecedented pace. The analysis of this big data would enable farmers and companies to extract value from it, improving their productivity.

I asked a question about this subject and there are some answers that may help you in this specific field.

AGRICULTURAL DIGITAL INTEGRATION PLATFORMS

"Agricultural research and innovation supports the sector in coping with a complex mix of challenges it is facing, including for example the pressures on natural resources and farm revenues. Knowledge creation and accessible information systems and tools to monitor, gather, transform and above all share vital information between key stakeholders can help the sector to become more sustainable . However, as well as the potential for new knowledge, a substantial part of the existing knowledge and its underpinning information flows, has yet to be exploited to its full potential. The resulting performance gap has strong social, ecological and economic implications. An improved functioning of the agricultural knowledge and innovation systems is needed, for timely innovation and to speed up the rate of knowledge creation. One of the most important constraints concerns the limited interoperability and lack of openness of different technical systems, thus limiting the choices farmers can make between suppliers of new technologies. An enhanced interoperability would allow for increased data sharing and the resulting knowledge generation. Another main constraint is the lack of information on the effectiveness of new technologies which slows down their take up.

Building platforms integrating different technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) devices, cloud, photonics, networks, geolocalisation (including through Galileo and EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service)) and robotics combined with applications based on data analytics and knowledge management. There is a need for a wide adoption of open, interoperable standards to ensure that all connected systems can talk to each other, allowing the farmers and relevant other stakeholders to pick and choose the most appropriate combination of tools from different suppliers. Pilots will validate the means to achieve high level of interoperability of different systems through reference architecture, semantics technologies and standardisation framework that demonstrate communication exchange of data across different systems and platforms..."
