Smart farming: IoT and your farming equipment
Combined Agriculture, Aquaculture & Fishing, and Technology, Media & Telecommunications Alert – 30 November 2022
“The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term used to describe the connecting of physical objects to each other via the internet in order to exchange data between them. IoT capabilities are increasingly becoming an important tool for farmers to measure relevant data remotely and in real time. However, like all things that are connected to the internet and capable of gathering vast amounts of data, the all-important “T’s and C’s” attached to the use of IoT-enabled farming equipment should receive careful consideration where such IoT devices allow access to sensitive data by IoT service providers and even other unauthorised third parties.”
