Food security, poverty reduction, and rural livelihood support are all greatly impacted by agriculture. To fight crop damage and water scarcity, a smart agricultural system built on the Internet of Things has been created. The system keeps an eye on the water and soil moisture levels and guards against unauthorized animal entry. Cell phones can be used by users to get real-time data. The water pump operates automatically on and off depending on criteria measured on the farmland. For the benefit of farmers and rural communities, the solution attempts to maximize irrigation, protect crops, and increase agricultural output. This smart farming system uses technology to give farmers and rural communities a dependable and effective tool that has a favorable effect on agricultural activity. A revolutionary solution that reduces risks and boosts productivity in the agricultural industry is offered through the use of IoT technology. The approach greatly enhances food security, promotes sustainable development in rural regions, and benefits farmers' well-being.
