PICT CE: Smart Agriculture Model using IoT, Sensors, Cloud Computing

This report proposes a multidisciplinary model for smart agriculture, integrating key technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), sensors, cloud computing, mobile computing, and big-data analysis to modernize the agriculture industry in India. The model aims to connect farmers, agro-marketing agencies, and agro-vendors through a mobile application and AgroCloud module. This setup enables the collection of real-time data on soil properties and environmental conditions via IoT sensors, which is then stored and analyzed in the cloud. The analysis focuses on determining fertilizer requirements, optimizing crop sequences, and managing production and market demands. The proposed model seeks to increase agricultural production, control costs, and facilitate the efficient distribution of agro-products. It also reviews related work in the field, highlighting the benefits of integrating various technologies to improve decision-making and overall efficiency in the agricultural sector.
