IoT-Based Drone for Smart Farming

India is one of the most significant income earners in the agriculture sector. As per the latest research, the productivity rate of crops in India in the field of agriculture is very high which is a considerable number of primary sources of livelihood. It requires pesticides, crop diseases, fertilizers, and other elements for agriculture, but managing such things over wide areas of fertile lands becomes very difficult. If there are fewer farmers on the arable land than is required, it won't be easy to maintain that land. To avoid these severe problems, we are developing a project: “IoT-Based Drone for Smart Farming.” This project involves the development of smart farming with the application of advanced Internet of Things (IoT) technologies attached to drone capabilities. Our newest concept is using IoT-enabled sensors, analytical real-time data collection of important farming parameters, and advanced communication protocols like MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport), enabling seamless connectivity between the drone and cloud-based platforms for remote monitoring and mapping of cropping areas, health report of crops, and improving irrigation systems in relation to soil moisture, temperature, and humidity. The various features of the drone are automated irrigation, precision spraying, and pest detection. It focuses on sustainability, scalability, efficiency, and resource optimization for sustainable farming techniques.
