Abstract

Agriculture is an important activity in our country for a long time. The agricultural business expects a fundamental part of rural development. In India, about 70% of the people rely on farming and 33% of the country's capital comes from farming. Despite the improvements in the agricultural sector, there are issues that hinder the development of the country. To solve these issues smart agriculture (modernizing the existing agriculture methods) plays a significant role. Hence, the aim of this paper is to provide an overview of IoT based agriculture, role of IoT in agriculture, benefits of IoT, and reasons for implementing IoT in agriculture sector.

Keywords
