Abstract
Agriculture is the main source that meets the food demand of living beings. The growth of a nation is predicted from the outcome of its Agricultural contribution. Population explosion, Climate change and poor environmental factors decreases the agriculture yield gradually. Smart Agriculture is the only solution to these challenges as it is focused on the modernization of existing agricultural methods. This can be implemented by adopting Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture. Smart Agriculture focuses on data collection from various sensors such as Temperature, Humidity, Soil Moisture, Soil pH, and Soil Nitrogen. The main objective of this paper is to monitor the aforementioned factors that directly influence the growth of crops. The collected data from the farm lands are stored in a cloud database for analytics and predictive actions. Smart Agriculture provides a mechanism for efficient observation, measurement and response to changes in environment. It provides better water irrigation, appropriate fertilizers management and efficient soil nutrition and directly influence the productivity. It is also used to enhance quality and profitability in agriculture by using minimum resources with less environment pollution.
