Abstract:
Smart farming management systems that are based on Internet of Things have emerged as an outcome of the growing availability of affordable IoT devices. Smart Agriculture is a rigorous strategy that uses communication and information facilitated by technology to keep an eye on farms. With the current advancements in fog computing, the IoT, and information and communication technology (ICT), tiny, intelligent devices are becoming a part of people's everyday lives to improve their quality of life by minimizing labour-intensive tasks. A smart agricultural system that makes use of the IoT facilitates intelligent and seamless communication between agricultural devices and computing components, thereby modernizing agriculture. Cloud resources are typically used to process the sensing data from agriculture equipment in order to assist smart agriculture systems. However, the unreliable and lengthy connections between cloud data centers and agricultural devices pose a challenge to the high quality-of-service (QoS) of farm systems. Beneficial data collecting, extremely accurate control, and automated monitoring techniques are all provided by the smart agriculture technology. The IoT-assisted fog-based concept that promises to deliver an affordable smart agriculture system was the main focus of this study. Fog platforms enable the effective processing of data generated by IoT devices across smart agricultural systems by bringing compute and storage closer to the network's edge
