Abstract

Agriculture remains crucial for food production; however, it is continuously impacted by climate change, limited water supply, pest infestation, and poor management of resources. Farming practices of the past are no longer sufficient, requiring new approaches. In this paper, I present and, in this paper, I discuss the development and deployment of an intelligent Internet of Things (IoT)-based agricultural crop monitoring and control system that automates farming through smart technology integration. Smart sensors form a network for monitoring environmental factors including soil moisture, temperature, humidity, light intensity, and soil ph. Drones offer fully automated aerial imaging for remote sensing to monitor crop health, while edge computing analyses data close to the source for real-time decision making. The cloud serves as the system's repository and the machine learning algorithms provide predictive analysis, which enables farmers to take proactive measures against pest infestation and bad weather. Furthermore, blockchain technology guarantees security, transparency, and traceability of products in an agricultural supply chain. Farmers can access real-time concrete guidance through the mobile app or the web app, enabling them to make informed decisions such as conserving water, fertilizers, and pesticides.
