Abstract

Agriculture has always been central to human civilization, shaping the way we live by providing food, livelihoods, and a foundation for growth. Yet, as the world’s population continues to grow, so does the demand for food and resources to the people and live stocks. This pressure is heightened by climate change and limited water availability, which strain traditional farming methods. To meet these challenges, agriculture is evolving with the help of modern technology. Smart Agriculture, which brings advanced tools and insights into farming, is leading the way in transforming how we produce food. One major innovation in this field is the Smart Irrigation Farming System, which uses the Internet of Things (IoT) to make watering crops more efficient, reducing waste and adapting to the needs of each plant. This technology offers a glimpse into a future where farming is more resilient, sustainable, and capable of supporting a growing world. Traditional irrigation methods are often labor-intensive or fixed-schedule, leading to water waste, increased costs, and risks to soil and crop health. This system introduces a Smart Irrigation Farming System that uses IoT technology to improve water efficiency, boost crop yields, and reduce labor demands. The system combines sensors, controllers, and IoT devices to monitor and adjust irrigation in real time. It measures soil moisture to determine ideal watering schedules, monitors temperature and humidity to prevent crop stress, and automates irrigation based on these insights. Additionally, farmers can monitor and control the system remotely via mobile application, enhancing convenience and precision in water management.
