Energy Efficiency in Agricultural Irrigation Sustainable Agriculture of the Future
Agricultural irrigation is a basic requirement for feeding the world's population, and irrigation plays an important role in improving productivity. However, the irrigation process often consumes a large amount of energy. Energy efficiency in agricultural irrigation is a fundamental component of sustainable agriculture. Studies have shown that applications have been developed to ensure energy efficiency in agricultural irrigation. However, applications are insufficient. In this study, more effective results were obtained with the cost efficiency analysis comparison method with renewable energy and technological methods. Renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines are becoming increasingly important. Additionally, with technological advances, data analytics and smart sensors are used to optimize irrigation processes and reduce the amount of water needed. This is a critical step in terms of saving energy and water, as well as environmental protection and increasing agricultural productivity. There are some parameters that affect energy efficiency in agricultural irrigation. These parameters include the depth of the well, the distance of the well to the network, the power and quality of the irrigation engine, product-soil-moisture factors. It concludes the preferred methods by making cost, quality analysis and comparison of an agricultural land that receives direct energy and an agricultural producer that invests with data analytics that uses energy with a renewable energy method. In this study, the issue of sustainable agriculture with more efficiency at less cost is discussed with technological data.
