A Comprehensive Survey on AgriTech to Pioneer the HCI-Based Future of Farming

Ashutosh Mishra, Shiho Kim

Abstract: The burgeoning global population constricted arable land availability, exacerbated farming input expenditures, and a dwindling labor workforce underscore the imperative for pioneering advancements within the realm of agriculture and cultivation. AgriTech represents the synergistic integration of cutting-edge technologies and human-computer interaction (HCI) into traditional agricultural methodologies, poised to usher in a transformative era in farming practices. It heralds a promising frontier for the implementation of intelligent farming techniques. Within this scholarly exposition, we delve into the profound challenges that beset the domain of intelligent agriculture and advanced agricultural technologies. We proffer an in-depth exploration of historical developments, leveraging innovative applications of artificial intelligence (AI), automation, robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to propel the paradigm of intelligent farming forward. Furthermore, we elucidate the impediments intrinsic to these technologies and proffer potential remedies encapsulated within the purview of AgriTech. This research not only serves as a comprehensive elucidation of the multifaceted intricacies within the domain of AgriTech but also serves as a launching pad, fostering fertile grounds for the cultivation of future AgriTech innovations.
