Application of Iot and Promoting Sustainable Standards in High-tech Agriculture: A Case Study at Tan Tien General Comprehensive Agricultural Service Cooperative, Vietnam

The agricultural sector faces significant challenges, including low productivity, inconsistent product quality, resource wastage (particularly water), and disease outbreaks. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies is expected to address these issues and promote sustainable agricultural practices. This study develops an IoT application model to enhance crop productivity and resolve persistent agricultural problems at the Tan Tien General Comprehensive Agricultural Service Cooperative in Da Lat, Vietnam. It evaluates IoT's role in advancing sustainable standards, including water irrigation management, fertilizer application, and pest detection. Qualitative research methods, combined with in-depth interviews of 25 members from 16 households, were employed to gather data on perceptions of IoT benefits. Analysis of IoT system logs from fertilizer mixing and irrigation processes demonstrates practical efficiency gains. Findings indicate IoT's substantial potential in fostering sustainability, with increased productivity and resource optimization. Solutions include scalable IoT frameworks for water and fertilizer management, while recommendations encompass policy support for IoT adoption, technical training, and infrastructure investment. This research contributes to sustainable high-tech agriculture in Vietnam.
