Abstract

This project presents the development of an automated sustainable farm management system aimed at improving agricultural efficiency through smart technology and eco-friendly practices. Farmers, especially small to medium-scale operators, often face challenges such as inefficient water usage, limited monitoring capabilities, and high dependency on manual operations. To address these issues, this project integrates Internet of Things (IoT) components including soil humidity sensors, automated water systems, and solar-powered operations to monitor and control key farming processes. A mobile application is developed to enable real-time monitoring and remote control of watering schedules, lighting systems, and sensor data collection. Additionally, rainwater harvesting mechanisms and solar panels are incorporated to promote sustainability and reduce dependency on external resources. The system is developed using the Agile methodology, allowing for iterative testing and user feedback throughout the development cycle. By automating repetitive tasks and promoting efficient resource utilization, the proposed system enhances farm productivity, reduces operational costs, and supports environmental sustainability. The outcome of this project provides a viable solution for modernizing traditional farming practices and contributes to the advancement of smart agriculture.
