Abstract - The usage of IoT in agriculture is a new concept
because IoT sensors can provide information about the agricultural sector and react based on user input. This design is intended to take advantage of the technology that is IoT and smart farming by automation. Internet of Things (IoT) technology is advancing in all areas of ordinary people's lives by making everything smart and intelligent. The IoT is a network of things that form a self-configuring network. With the development different smart farming IoT based products, the aspect of agriculture is changing every day. This not only improves crop yields, but also increases cost effectiveness and reduces losses. The Internet of Things (IoT) transforms agribusiness and enables farmers to address field challenges through a wide range of strategies, including precision and hands-on farming. This design proposes an intelligent IoTbased farming approach that enables farmers to obtain live data such as temperature and soil moisture for effective terrain monitoring, practicing smart farming and overall yield and aims to improve product quality. The technology proposed in this project will be integrated with Arduino technology, breadboards, mixed with a variety of different sensors, and will allow you to access live data feeds online via your mobile phone. Key Words: Smart Agriculture, Internet Of Things (IoT), Arduino, ESP 32 Node MCU, Sensors.
1. INTRODUCTION The main idea of the IoT is to connect what is not connected. A world where everything is online and enables new services that improve our lives by communicating with others and people. From self-driving drones to delivering grocery orders to covering your health with sensors on your clothes, the world we live in is in the verge of witnessing major technological transitions. As the world's population grows exponentially, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, by 2050 the world will need to produce 70 percent additional foods, agricultural land will shrink and finite natural resources will diminish. The situation is exacerbated by restricted access to natural resources such as freshwater and agricultural land, as well as slowing yield trends for some staple food crops. Another obstacle to agriculture is the © 2022, IRJET

structural changes in the agricultural workforce. Agricultural labor is also declining in most countries. As a result of the diminishing agricultural workforce, the usage of internet connectivity in agriculture have begun to be accepted to reduce the need for human labor. With the promising adoption of the IoT, most of the connected devices around us have reached almost every aspect of our lives. Also, agriculture, healthcare, education, manufacturing, fitness, home automation, transportation, law and order, the possibilities are endless. We are going to talk especially about agriculture as a stream where the Internet of Things plays an important role. With centuries of agricultural updates, the IoT is now rethinking the view of agriculture in India. Over the last few decades, agriculture has undergone tremendous changes in how it works, with cutting-edge approaches and operating ultrasmart devices. Agriculture is now innovative, strategic and technology driven and effective with intelligent IoT and automated operations.
2. INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT) The Internet of things (IoT) describes bodily objects (or groups of such objects) with sensors, processing ability, software, and different technology that join and change information with different gadgets and structures over the Internet or different communications networks. The field has advanced because of the convergence of a couple technologies, along with ubiquitous computing, commodity sensors, an increasing number of effective embedded structures. Traditional fields of embedded systems, Wi-Fi sensor networks, control systems, automation (along with domestic and constructing automation), independently and collectively allow the Internet of things. In the client market, IoT technology is maximum synonymous with merchandise referring to the idea of the "smart home", along with gadgets and appliances (together with lights fixtures, thermostats, domestic safety structures, cameras, and different domestic appliances) that guide one or greater usual ecosystems, and may be managed through gadgets related to that ecosystem, together with smartphones and smart audio systems. IoT is likewise utilized in healthcare structures. [7] ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal
