Abstract

The integration of innovative Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies into agriculture has ushered in a new era of innovation and efficiency. This research examines diverse strategies to improve community participation and capacity building for IoT-enabled agriculture in South Asia. The study focuses on raising awareness and promoting understanding through customized workshops, development of local educational materials, establishment of IoT-equipped demonstration farms, promotion of collaborative decision-making platforms, and implementation of community-based monitoring and maintenance initiatives. Awareness and training workshops serve as central platforms for the dissemination of important IoT information and enable farmers and communities to understand the benefits and mechanisms of IoT applications in agriculture. Local language materials bridge the communication gap by supplying accessible resources that simplify complex IoT concepts. Demonstration farms equipped with IoT represent a visionary initiative that combines innovative technology with traditional agriculture. Collaborative decision-making platforms connect farmers, researchers, and technology experts to a global network, facilitating knowledge sharing and synergistic solutions. Community-based monitoring and maintenance encourages a sense of ownership and self-reliance within communities. These diverse strategies lay the foundation for a harmonious fusion of IoT technologies and traditional agricultural practices. By empowering communities through awareness, education, firsthand demonstrations, collaboration, and participation, the agricultural landscape of South Asia can leverage IoT-powered solutions to improve productivity, resource management, and overall sustainability.
