Geo-ICDTs: Principles and Applications in Agriculture

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Geospatial Technologies in Land Resources Mapping, Monitoring and Management

Part of the book series: Geotechnologies and the Environment ((GEOTECH,volume 21))

Abstract

Geographical information, communication and dissemination technologies (Geo-ICDTs) is an innovative initiative that integrates state-of-the-art technologies for geospatial information collection and rapid dissemination. It ensembles core emerging technologies that lay out the platform for spatial decision-making, geo-computation and location-based services (LBS). In the past few decades, rapid developments in geolocation-based platforms and services have made significant contributions towards emerging markets and applications like spatial data infrastructure (SDI), digital earth observations (EO), precision agriculture, location-based commerce (l-commerce), mobile commerce (m-commerce), e-commerce, e-governance, etc. These technologies have also indispensably effected the institutionalization of e-agriculture in the agricultural sector (the primary driver of economy across nations), which thrives with improved productivity and sustainability (adaptive to climate change). However, Geo-ICDTs face adamant challenge in the form of developing, implementing, integrating and steering adaptability among end-users. Understanding stochastic behaviour of these parameters requires capturing real-time/near real-time data from several sources, such as sensor networks, remote sensing, crowdsourcing, experimental setups and lab-based studies. These requirements necessitate development of a “system of things” infrastructure that can capture location-specific data from several sources and can communicate with each other, thus evolving as an integrated system. This system of things is often referred as the “Internet of things (IoT)”, which works under the framework of Geo-ICDT. This chapter closely discusses the MMA (monitoring, management and adaptation) framework, its components and their implementation in precision agriculture.
