Abstract

Agriculture has been one of the essential aspects of people’s lives since the beginning. Although it has remained basically the same, it has had to adapt to new demands. More humans are coming into this world, and environmental issues are getting worse. Such a situation makes the agriculture industry the most burdened with the responsibility of not exhausting resources and also increasing production levels. In light of advancements in technology and data processing, precision agriculture has become one way of coping with the issues of rising inputs. Machine learning and algorithmic methods can help farmers make the right decisions, use and optimize their resources, and reduce the risks associated with traditional farming. This paper sheds light on how a local farm and machine learning collaborate through the design of a classification method involving soil, weed, food, and animal management. Case papers and studies are among the other tools that show that classification in agriculture has several different areas of use. It also explores the possibility of the classification affecting the dynamics of agricultural functions to realize the utmost future security.
