A smart farming concept based on smart embedded electronics, internet of things and wireless sensor network

With the exponential growth of the human race that means the growth of population, the conventional or ancient farming methods are becoming unable to cope with the growth with satisfaction. Hence advanced farming methods are much needed to approach the necessity of foods of this growing number of people. In the recent few years, smart farming systems based on embedded systems and the Internet of Things (IoT) getting attraction and popularity among people to enhance food production for people. This paper has prescribed farming systems based on the embedded systems, IoT and wireless sensor networks for agri-farm field and livestock farms. This paper includes the description of systems with the electronic circuitry of the systems, used network protocols and smart distant monitoring systems for PCs and Smartphones, etc. Later it includes some propositions and finally, the paper concludes with describing the future scopes of relevant technologies in smart farming.
