Low-Power Wireless Sensor Networks for Smart Agriculture

Abstract

It is well acknowledged that no organism can survive without sustenance; hence, agriculture is essential globally, not alone in India. Agriculture is the main source of revenue for our country. Agriculture depends on precipitation, soil, sunlight, and moisture, among other factors. The current and forthcoming developments in agriculture may be monitored using the invention known as the Internet of Things. It is a developmental process that converts traditional agriculture into smart agriculture for enhanced results. This invention enhances harvest efficiency, reduces costs, increases production, and minimizes waste. Pests and insects that damage the crop may also be managed, therefore safeguarding the harvest. This technology enables farmers to monitor temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and other variables that influence productivity, therefore enhancing yield and conserving resources. The cloud-based storing of field-collected data facilitates the proper functioning of IoT devices. This agricultural framework may be monitored remotely using networking technology. The study examines the social and technical changes that will proliferate with the widespread use of smart agriculture technology by farmers globally.
