Agriculture is the cornerstone of human survival, yet it faces unprecedented pressures. Edge computing represents a paradigm shift in agriculture, addressing the fundamental limitations of cloud centric architectures in rural environments. By decentralizing computing power and relocating data processing to the “edge” of the network physically closer to the data sources such as tractors, soil sensors, and greenhouses edge computing fundamentally restructures the agricultural data paradigm. Edge computers process sensor data from tractors, drones, and planters instantly, enabling precise, real time adjustments to planting depth or seeding application. In agriculture, this means that sensor data can be processed locally, on the farm itself. This kind of real time processing enables farmers to react quickly when something changes. This paper explores the role of edge computing in agriculture. edge computing, cloud computing, agriculture, smart agriculture, precision agriculture, farming. 18-28 Issue-4 Volume-10 Matthew N. O.
