Abstract

This study, focusing on the Philippines, explores the benefits of implementing IoT (Internet of Things) technologies in modern agriculture. The primary objectives are to assess the impact of IoT on crop monitoring, livestock tracking, weather monitoring, automated irrigation, precision steering, greenhouse automation, and field mapping. The research methodology involved an extensive review of the current literature on IoT applications in agriculture and interviews and surveys with farmers and agricultural experts in the Philippines. Data were collected and analyzed to understand IoT adoption's practical implications and challenges in various agrarian domains. The findings indicate that IoT technologies offer significant advantages in enhancing agricultural practices in the Philippines. IoT-based crop monitoring provides real-time data on environmental conditions, enabling farmers to optimize irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. Livestock tracking through IoT ensures animal well-being and efficient breeding practices. IoT-based weather monitoring aids in informed decision-making for crop protection and risk management. Automated irrigation using IoT sensors reduces water wastage while improving crop health. Precision steering systems enhance resource management during planting and harvesting. Greenhouse automation optimizes plant growth conditions and reduces manual labour. Field mapping via IoT allows for site-specific management, improving yield and sustainability. Despite the benefits, challenges like internet connectivity and initial investment remain, necessitating comprehensive strategies for IoT integration in Philippine agriculture.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Agricultural Science education on youth engagement in agribusiness in Northeast Nigeria, focusing on its role in fostering entrepreneurial skills, enhancing practical training, and addressing challenges that hinder youth participation in agribusiness ventures. The research employed a questionnaire administered to 704 respondents, including 320 students and 384 youths, to assess the effectiveness of Agricultural Science education in preparing youth for agribusiness. The findings reveal that Agricultural Science education significantly contributes to the development of key entrepreneurial skills, equips students with essential knowledge, and cultivates an entrepreneurial mindset, encouraging youth to pursue agribusiness ventures. Despite these positive outcomes, challenges such as limited access to financial resources, inadequate infrastructure, and insufficient exposure to modern farming technologies impede youth engagement in agribusiness. The study also found that integrating modern agribusiness practices into the curriculum enhances students’ readiness to engage in agribusiness ventures. The study recommends improving hands-on training, incorporating modern agricultural technologies into the curriculum, increasing government support for agripreneurs, and fostering public-private partnerships to address the identified challenges. This research underscores the critical role of Agricultural Science education in promoting youth participation in agribusiness and its potential to contribute to the economic development of Northeast Nigeria.
