Abstract : Agriculture is undergoing a radical transformation driven by technological innovations, particularly the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Advanced Analytics (AA). These technologies promise to improve resource management, increase crop yields, and optimize supply chains. IoT enables real-time data collection through interconnected devices like sensors and drones, while AI processes this data for informed decision-making on irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. Advanced Analytics further enhances precision farming by predicting trends and improving operational efficiency. Drawing insights from sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, and transportation, this article highlights how these technologies are revolutionizing agriculture. It also explores future trends like autonomous machinery and AI-driven crop management models, underscoring the potential of IoT, AI, and AA to boost sustainability, productivity, and profitability in the agricultural sector.
