Revolutionizing Agriculture through IoT Enhanced Data Analytics: A Study from a Blockchain Technology Perspective

The emergence of interconnected systems, blockchain approaches, and the Internet of Things (IoT) is creating novel possibilities for information-driven choices in agricultural production. The knowledge provided in this chapter points out the innovative possibilities of integrated technologies with respect to small-to-large scale, wholesale, vendor, end user, and sustainable farmland. The aim of this study is to incorporate hyperledger formulation in a decentralized blockchain building with the Internet of Things gadgets in automated agriculture. This involves placing actuators and sensing devices on the ground to develop an infrastructure of coupled gadgets that continuously acquire and convey data from the realm of agriculture. This section outlines data collection methods practiced in agriculture using IoT devices as well as blockchain. It emphasizes wired and wireless connectivity and describes the types of sensors used to monitor soil conditions, weather patterns, crop health, and other relevant parameters. An example is that farmers may receive weather- and climatepredicted data promptly. The heart of the research is to understand the study on data analysis in the agricultural sector using blockchain technology. From descriptive analysis for historical data review to predictive analysis for forecasting crop yields and disease attacks, this section provides an overview of the techniques in practice. It examines the increasing trend towards the adoption of edge computing in agriculture, enabling real-time data analysis directly from the ground, which may reduce latency, improve decision-making speed, and reduce the need for centralized cloud processing. The concluding portion addresses pragmatic applications for unified systems in IoTdriven statistical analysis and agribusiness. Supply chain (SC) optimization, surveillance of crops, smart watering systems, and agricultural precision farming are several examples. Identifying a handful of the complications that arise with this scientific convergence, the study examines pitfalls that parties in the agricultural sector have to navigate. It involves prerequisites for suitable physical labor, cooperation hardships, and data safety worries. New technologies designed to address the foregoing problems and efforts to fix those conflicts with farm-integrated IoT-driven data visualization are looked at along with their demonstrated intelligent farming approaches. Prospective paths in IoT-driven information mining and a system with embedded components for agriculture-related access without agent marketing are laid out in the investigation's summary. The work discusses the potential effects of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) promotions, strengthened sensory technological advances, and the possible incorporation of blockchain for safeguarding data and the ability to track individuals for sustainable farming and planetary food sustainability. The investigation of embedded equipment and IoT-driven analytical methods in the agricultural industry is addressed in this scientific statement. It offers an explanation of the manner in which agribusiness is adapting to herald in an additional phase of ecological responsibility, preciseness, and operational effectiveness.
