INTRODUCTION
Modern agricultural techniques are changing dramatically as a result of the development of Precision Agriculture, which is made possible by the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology.Researchers, farmers, and governments are increasingly focusing on sustainable agriculture due to the growing global population and the need to solve issues related to food security.Precision farming, also known as precision agriculture, is a data-driven strategy that maximizes crop yield, minimizes resource waste, and improves overall agricultural sustainability by using real-time monitoring and control system [1]- [6].The core tenet of precision agriculture is to customize agronomic techniques to the unique requirements of every field, crop, or even individual plant.Traditional, homogeneous farming practices are giving way to data-driven, exact, and responsive farming methods that take into account the particular needs and peculiarities of each area of a field [7]- [11].This shift primarily depends on the use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as automated equipment, drones, and sensors for the weather and soil, which provide an abundance of data necessary for well-informed decision-making.In light of this, the purpose of this study is to shed light on the topic of precision agriculture by examining the relationship between farming that is driven by the Internet of Things and the outcomes of tests conducted in this regard.We can highlight the potential of precision farming to maximize resource allocation, improve crop yields, and lessen the environmental effect of traditional agricultural operations by using extensive datasets obtained from IoT sensors and monitoring devices [12]- [16].
1 The following are the main goals of this paper: • Data-Driven Agriculture: Investigate how Internet of Things (IoT) devices can collect vital information about temperature, moisture content, nutrient levels, and insect infestations to facilitate accurate monitoring and management.
• Exhibit the results of a Precision Agriculture test, showing how the practices affect crop yields, fertilizer use, and pesticide use in practical agricultural situations.
• Sustainable Yield Assessment: To evaluate the long-term viability of precision farming by contrasting initial and sustainable yields while taking the environment's effects and resource efficiency into account.
• Future Repercussions: To talk about how IoT-driven precision agriculture could affect global food security, sustainable food production, and the adoption of more environmentally friendly agricultural methods.
The field of precision agriculture has potential answers to the concerns of resource scarcity, climate change, and feeding a rising world population.Through the optimization of agricultural production, waste reduction, and environmental impact minimization, this new area offers promise for a sustainable and food-secure future.The purpose of this study is to add to the current conversation on precision agriculture and how it may transform contemporary agricultural methods [17]- [21].

Precision Farming and Its Development
A revolutionary strategy in contemporary agriculture, precision agriculture (PA), commonly referred to as precision farming or smart farming, aims to maximize resource efficiency while boosting crop yields.It changed in reaction to the growing need for food throughout the world, the requirement for sustainable agricultural methods, and the introduction of cutting-edge technology, most notably the Internet of Things (IoT).Due to the potential of data-driven agricultural decisionmaking, the notion of PA was first introduced in the late 20th century (Srinivasan et al., 2017).

IoT's Place in Precision Agribusiness
The quick development and use of IoT technology has contributed significantly to PA's expansion.Real-time data gathering and analysis is made possible by IoT devices including automated equipment, weather stations, and soil sensors.According to Lopez et al. ( 2017), these tools provide information on important characteristics such as temperature, nutritional content, insect infestations, and soil moisture levels.With the use of this data, farmers are better able to manage their crops and waste less resources by making prompt, accurate choices [22]- [26].

IoT-Powered Data Gathering and Tracking
Data collecting on farms has been transformed by IoT sensors and monitoring devices.For example, soil sensors may provide comprehensive data on soil conditions, enabling farmers to modify irrigation schedules, apply fertilizer more efficiently, and identify early indicators of nutrient deficits (Bacchus et al., 2018).The use of data-driven methodology makes it possible to apply management methods tailored to individual sites [27]- [32].

Test Cases for Precision Agriculture
Numerous studies have shown the effective use of PA in Internet of Things-driven farming.One such instance is the use of drones to monitor fields from the air [33]- [39].These unmanned aerial vehicles can collect thermal data, multispectral data, and high-resolution photos since they are fitted with a variety of sensors.They are especially useful for predicting production, detecting diseases, and evaluating the health of crops.

The effects of sustainable agriculture on the environment
One of the main concerns in contemporary agriculture is sustainability.When used properly, precision agriculture may lessen the environmental impact of conventional farming techniques, which might support sustainable agricultural practices.In addition to increasing crop yields, efficient resource management via targeted fertilizer application and less pesticide usage also lessens farming's environmental impact [40]- [44].

Prospective Consequences and Difficulties
IoT-driven precision agriculture has enormous potential to solve issues related to food security, reduce farming's environmental impact, and improve agriculture's economic viability as its usage increases.But there are still issues to be resolved, such as the initial expenses of IoT deployment, privacy issues with data, and the need for farmers to get training and education in order to fully use the potential of these technologies .
The way that Precision Agriculture uses IoT technology is changing how farming is done in the current day.It has the potential to completely transform agricultural methods by facilitating data-driven decision-making and more effective resource allocation.The literature reviewed in this section demonstrates the noteworthy progress made in this area and emphasizes the necessity of more funding and research to fully utilize precision agriculture's potential for producing highyield crops in a sustainable manner while reducing its negative effects on the environment.
