The term "Smart Farming" has been increasingly popular in recent years due, in large part, to the proliferation of network-based, high-tech farm monitoring cycles. These cycles make extensive use of technologies for communication and information gathering in the form of machinery, equipment, and sensors. The Internet of Things, often known as IoT, is the wave of the future in every sector of the economy, and its impacts will be felt by everyone. It is a collection of different devices that are capable of configuring themselves into a fully operational network. Conventional farming practices are progressively being supplanted by smart farming, which takes use of advancements made possible by the internet of things. This makes conventional farming methods more efficient, which in turn saves farmers money and reduces the amount of food that is lost. This technology helps farmers conserve energy and time by evaluating data in actual time from sensors placed in crops and offering actionable information on how their crops are progressing. The data comes from the sensors themselves, which are planted in the crops. Data from the field is sent to the cloud and evaluated there so that procedures may be automated utilizing Internet of Things devices. The assessment of the farmer's contribution into the process of making choices is demonstrated with information regarding the temperature of the field, the soil moisture level, the humidity level, and the amount of water that is used. In addition, the technical knowledge presented here is valuable to producers at every stage of the production process, including planting, growing, harvesting, packaging and shipping.
