Smart Agriculture System using IoT

Agriculture plays a vital role in the development of India, about 70% of the population is directly or indirectly dependent on agriculture, agriculture contributes 20% of India's GDP. Smart Agriculture is an application of IoT(Internet of Things) in agricultural practices. Use of the technology will be very helpful and beneficial for farmers and thereby for the country. This project will automate various aspects of the agricultural domain and thus help to reduce the burden of farmers. In the Smart Agriculture project, there has been a use of various sensors, NodeMCU, LCD and many other peripherals used in IoT. These devices help to detect various parameters involved in the agricultural field. IoT modernization helps in gathering information on circumstances like climate, dampness, temperature and fruitfulness of soil, by detecting these readings farmers can change their farming practices accordingly, to get maximum yield and a good crop. As the population is predicted to reach 10 billion people in 2060, and as a result of the population's rapid rise, there is a sudden surge in demand for food. Unfortunately, this increase in demand is only tangentially related to population growth. That is why there is a need for development of a system that will sustain this rising demand
