SMART AGRICULTURE MONITORING SYSTEM

  • Dr. Rajapraveen Kumar N

Abstract

 Agriculture is the backbone for the development of any country. Yet still in this technology driven era, the majority of the farmers are using traditional farming approaches, which were completely dependent on manpower. Implementing automation in agriculture would minimize the need for manpower and also the need for continuous monitoring. This study proposes an agricultural monitoring platform based on the Internet of Things (IoT) that uses a sensor-based embedded device based on Raspberry Pi that tracks and automates simple tasks such as watering, lighting in greenhouse farming, and keeping farmers updated on any critical issues. It also continuously sends data related to the amount of water, temperature, humidity, light, etc., to a centralized server as well as to farmers. For further research in the field of agriculture, mining such data from multiple fields would be of interest.
