The agriculture sector is undergoing rapid transformation as farmers confront increasingly unpredictable weather patterns, nutrient depletion, soil degradation and competing demands for water and energy. According to the authors, agricultural sensors have become the foundation of smart farming because they provide continuous, accurate monitoring of environmental and crop conditions.
The report systematically categorizes the major types of sensors now deployed across agricultural operations. Humidity sensors support greenhouse climate regulation, enabling producers to maintain stable moisture levels for sensitive crops. Light sensors allow precise adjustment of illumination in controlled environments and early detection of photochemical stress in plants. Gas sensors detect carbon dioxide, ammonia and other gases essential for assessing crop respiration, livestock conditions and spoilage risk during storage.
