Abstract

The aim is to determine the usage of the Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture in order to prevent contagion with applications and use cases in the field with its facilitating role in the pandemic. For this purpose, content analysis of articles from MDPI, PubMed, and Google Scholar was conducted, the governments' good practices were examined, and implementation projects were combined to obtain the Internet of Things to deal with COVID-19. The IoT architecture in agriculture, examples of IoT use in agriculture, monitoring of livestock, monitoring of climate conditions, greenhouse control, and drone use are important IoT use cases. Productivity, expansion, resource use, and clean processes are among the benefits of IoT in COVID-19. In COVID-19, comprehensive government initiatives, food demand growth, precision agriculture and increasing government initiatives are important IoT initiatives. The Internet of Things proposed to mitigate the impact of the pandemic could become a relatively major part of the solution and farming future with the development.

Pandemide Tarımda Sürdürülebilirlik için Nesnelerin İnterneti Kullanımı

Abstract

Bu çalışmada amaç, salgında kolaylaştırıcı rolü ile sahadaki uygulama ve kullanım örneklerinin bulaşmasını önlemek amacıyla nesnelerin internetinin (IoT) tarımda kullanımını belirlemektir. Bu amaçla MDPI, PubMed ve Google akademik makalelerin içerik analizi yapılmış, hükümetlerin iyi uygulamaları incelenmiş ve COVID-19 ile mücadelede Nesnelerin İnterneti'ni elde etmek için uygulama projeleri birleştirilmiştir. Tarımda Nesnelerin İnterneti mimarisi, kullanım örnekleri, hayvancılığın izlenmesi, iklim koşullarının izlenmesi, sera kontrolü, drone kullanımı önemli IoT kullanım örnekleridir. Verimlilik, genişleme, kaynak kullanımı, temiz süreçler, IoT'nin COVID-19'daki faydaları arasında yer almaktadır. COVİD-19'da kapsamlı hükümet girişimleri, gıda talebindeki artış, hassas tarım ve artan hükümet girişimleri önemli IoT girişimlerindendir. Pandeminin etkisini hafifletmek için önerilen “Nesnelerin İnterneti” gelişimle birlikte çözümün ve tarım geleceğinin için nispeten önemli bir parçası haline gelebilir.
