3. INTRODUCTION :
Smart farming using embedded systems refers to
the integration of advanced electronic devices and
technologies within agricultural practices to enhance
efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. The importance of
technology in modern agriculture lies in its ability to
revolutionize traditional farming practices by incorporating
advanced tools and systems.
This integration of technology empowers farmers with real-
time information, enabling data-driven decision-making,
reducing resource wastage, and ultimately increasing
productivity in a more sustainable and environmentally
friendly manner.

4. KEY COMPONENTS OF SMART FARMING :
Sensors :
Used to measure the agricultural parameters.
Drones :
Used to monitor and collect data in agricultural
fields.
Mapping and surveying
IoT devices :
 involves integration of interconnected sensors,
actuators and other devices to collect, transmit
and analyse data.
