Abstract

Smart farming is an emerging concept that is rapidly transforming due to the development of the Internet of Things, edge computing and AI, and providing revolutionary solutions for real time crop monitoring and decision making. This article introduces a unified and adaptive framework that combines IoT-based sensing, edge-level analytics, knowledge-driven analytics and AI-driven analytics, aiming to achieve the premises of scalability, transparency and responsiveness in intelligent agriculture. Leveraging the latest breakthroughs from 2021 to 2025, the work investigates the ways in which edge intelligence and distributed architecture solve the key challenges, including data latency, connectivity outages and context-aware decision support. The proposed architecture focuses on the practical implementation in a broad range of agricultural systems, comprising classical and soilless farms, taking into consideration issues related to the integration, constraints of infrastructure, and system interoperability. We seek to narrow the chasm between prototype ideas and practical applications in precision agriculture by critically reviewing existing models and adding a new architectural approach.
