Utilization of IOT in agriculture for smart crop monitoring

Agriculture continues to face growing challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and increasing demand for food due to a rising global population. Traditional farming practices often rely on experience-based decisions and generalized treatment, leading to overuse of water, fertilizers, and pesticides. This not only impacts yield and quality but also contributes to environmental degradation. Recent advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT) offer a promising avenue to modernize agriculture by enabling real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making. Recognizing the need for more efficient and sustainable farming practices, this research focuses on developing a smart crop monitoring system using IoT technology. The system aims to provide farmers with timely, accurate information to optimize resource use and respond effectively to environmental conditions.
