Harvested sentinel plant sensor signals could be communicated to a proximal smart farm through an Internet of Biological Things satellite architecture in real-time with low latency. Edge computing at the smart far could combine sentinel signals with daily-refreshed geospatial and current local weather forecasts. Embedded artificial intelligence agents at the smart farm could undertake insight-driven drone route planning to optimize autonomous application of fertilizer and pesticide.
