Abstract

Farming in India is carried out through mundane, outdated methods. Most farmers lack the necessary knowledge or expertise to carry out effective agriculture and rely on predictions, which oftentimes, fails. This leads to low yield, poor quality crops grown year after year, thus, putting the consumer at a loss of essential nutrients in their diet and also leaving the farmers with a very low profit margin for their crops. Since we are aware of the benefits of proper soil moisture and its quality, air quality and irrigation in the growth of crops, such parameters cannot be ignored. With the aim of revolutionizing the Indian Agricultural Business and also optimizing natural resources to procure higher yield and profits for our Farmers, the paper proposes remote access, self-sustained IoT-enabled Hydroponics Farm as a viable solution to rising crises in the Agro-Business.
