Agricultural Productivity Enhancement System & Livestock Management using Internet of Things

Abstract

The more man has advanced towards technology, more and more problems affecting Mother Nature have aroused. ‘Not now, then when? Not earth, then where? Not we, then who’ are all the rhetoric questions that in themselves stress the need for us to become more aware about Global Warming. Global Warming has vastly affected different human sectors but the worst of the effects are seen in the Agricultural sector where the unpredictable climatic changes are causing to be of great trouble due to which many losses have been incurred. There were days back when our ancestors could predict the climate through ancient methods and to our surprise; most of their predictions did turn out to be true. Now that there are sudden climate changes, the previously used prediction methods have proven futile. There is an acute need to develop more sophisticated prediction methods using technology where more accurate decisions can be made. Using Embedded Systems and IOT, we aim at bringing sophistication to the crop prediction techniques to enhance the agricultural productivity even while the climatic trends keep on changing continuously. Adding on to the utility of this project is the Livestock Management module which further adds value to the project.
