ABOUT SMART FARMING
Smart farming is about using the new technologies which
have arisen at the dawn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
in the areas of agriculture and cattle production to increase
production quantity and quality, by making maximum use
of resources and minimising the environmental impact.
Smart farming is a management concept focused on
providing the agricultural industry with the infrastructure
to leverage advanced technology – including big data, the
cloud and the internet of things (IoT) – for tracking,
monitoring, automating and analyzing operations.

• Some saySmart Farming can trace its roots back to the
late 1990s when tractors first started using GPS to map
out farms and cropping maps. In those days the
technology was fraught with problems.
• The term Climate Smart Agriculture was defined by the
Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations
(FAO) at the Hague Conference on Agriculture, Food
Security and Climate Change in 2010.
• It is difficult, therefore, to pinpoint any one moment
when farming 'went smart'. It is more of an ongoing
process. Some say Smart Farming can trace its roots back
to the late 1990s when tractors first started using GPS to
map out farms and cropping maps.

ADVANTAGES
It can helpfarmers avoid accidental deforestation and soil erosion.
In addition, smart irrigation systems can help farmers reduce water
usage, and some smart farming technologies helps generate
renewable energy. Moreover, many smart farming solutions are
designed to be carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative.
• It increases their yields:
Traditional farming practices often yield lower crop yields due to pests and
poor soil fertility. These new technologies helps farmers overcome these
challenges using precision agriculture techniques. Precision agriculture is a
farming management system that uses modern technologies to optimize
activities such as planting, irrigation, and crop scouting. It is among the most
revolutionary smart farming benefits.
• Reducing their costs:
Farming is a capital-intensive industry, and farmers often incur high costs for
inputs such as seeds, fertilizer, and fuel. Smart farming technologies like
Farm Management Information System (FMIS) can help farmers reduce costs
by improving input management and decision-making.

• Less humanerrors:
Section control farmers can benefit from removing the human errors that are bound
to happen when dealing with large farmland areas. The technology does this by
precision mapping the field, which is then used to guide farm machinery. It ensures
that crops are planted correctly and at the correct depth, preventing seed losses due
to incorrect planting.
In addition, section control can be used to prevent crop damage from herbicides and
pesticides. By only applying these chemicals to the areas that need them, farmers can
reduce chemical usage, saving money and protecting the environment.
• Data collection and analysis:
In addition, data collected by smart farming technologies can be used to improve crop
breeding programs. By understanding the conditions under which a particular variety
of crops performs well, breeders can develop new types that are better adapted to
specific situations.
Farmers can easily collect data about their crops, soils, and weather conditions using
Internet of Things devices. This data can be used to improve farm management
decisions. For example, yield maps can be used to understand which areas of a field
yield more or less than others. This information can help farmers adjust their inputs
and management practices accordingly.

DISADVANTAGE
Smart farming can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing
the need for tractors and other machines that run on fossil fuels. Still,
it may also increase the use of pesticides and fertilisers, which also
contribute to global warming.
There are drawbacks to smart farming, too. Whilst it's a step forward
in reducing waste and improving food production, there are still some
issues to be worked out.
● The impact of smart farming on climate change is not yet clear.

contribute to global warming.
● Smart farming won't solve all problems--it might even create
new ones! Some critics point out that smart farms will follow the
same model as conventional farms: large-scale operations with cheap
labour from migrant workers who don't speak for themselves about
working conditions or paychecks (if they receive them at all).
GPS technology
GPSallows farmers to accurately navigate
to specific locations in the field, year after
year, to collect soil samples or monitor
crop conditions.

Drones technology
Drones can assist in precision agriculture by
performing variety of agricultural tasks
including soil health monitoring, seed
planting, fertilizer application, crop stress
management, irrigation schedule planning,
weed management, crop yield
management, and weather analysis.

Precision agriculture
It is the science of improving crop yields
and assisting management decisions using
high technology sensor and analysis tools.
PA is a new concept adopted throughout
the world to increase production, reduce
labor time, and ensure the effective
management of fertilizers and
irrigation processes.

Livestock
monitoring
A Livestockmonitoring system is a revolutionary
solution architected and developed using
sensors, GPS, etc. and integrating all these with a
network protocol for communication. This
monitoring system helps the farmers to keep a
check on their farm animals remotely.
12.
Airflow sensor
Agriculture sensorssuch as air temperature
and humidity, soil moisture, soil pH, light
intensity, and carbon dioxide are often used
to collect data in all aspects of crop growth
such as nursery, growth, and harvest.
13.
Automatic irrigation
This methodhelps us to use the available
water resources more efficiently by sensing
the moisture present in the soil and apart
from that it is actually predicting the weather
by sensing two parameters temperature and
humidity thereby processing the measured
values through an algorithm and
releasing the water ...

is based on IoT technology designed using
proteus simulation tool which collects
necessary environmental data by using a
Temperature sensor, Pressure senso, Soil
moisture sensor, Rain sensor,

conclusion
• With moderntechnology, smarter farming practices can lead to
greater efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Smart
farming also offers many benefits for consumers, including
fresher produce with fewer pesticides, improved taste and
nutrition levels in foods, reduced food waste and longer shelf
life.
