Abstract

Agriculture plays a major role in the nation’s economic contribution. The source of income and livelihood of around 70% of Indian population depends on agriculture. Harvest and post-harvest losses due to many reasons lead to heavy financial burden to farmers as well as Government. Though many agriculture security measures, like crop insurance, are provided to farmers by Government, still the farmers’ suicide is a common phenomenon. To minimize the crop loss during harvest or post-harvest, this paper proposes the smart agriculture system with the help of Internet of Things (IoT). With the use of several sensors and Raspberry Pi, different models are proposed for supervision of soil moisture and pests, building intelligent seeds’ corporation and efficient food corporation of India.
