Some applications of IoT in agriculture
In many parts of the country, for watering of crops different irrigation methods are used like tube wells, canals and by pumping ground water with the help of heavy motors that operate on electricity. Ground water pumping with motor depends upon electricity availability during day and night times which leads to high electricity consumption. Sometimes…

Introduction
Agriculture is one of the oldest and predominant fields in every country’s economic growth that acts as its backbone. The origin of the word agriculture is from the Latin word “ager”, which means land, and “culture”, which means cultivation. Like India in some other countries also the largest population income depends on farming practices. This…

Waste management
The IoT enables information technology integration and its application (Kim et al., 2017). The analytical framework for sensor-based IoT helps to achieve environmental sustainability (Bibri, 2018). The circular economy system enables to use energy and natural resources while minimizing waste through the principles of recycling, reducing and reusing (Tura et al., 2019). The circular economy loop includes…
