Organic Farming Automation to Revolutionize the Agricultural Industry Than Traditional Farming Practices Using IOT and Technological Development

Agriculture has remained the spine of human sustenance on earth. Since times unknown, humans have learned and developed methods to produce food and other resources for their livelihood. Agriculture has seen large developments, especially in the last century. Scientific methods have accelerated the process of agriculture to a large extent. These developments have improved productivity by leaps and bounds. Though these developments come with a lot of benefits, they also include several demerits that adversely affect the soil, humans, and livestock. To retain and multiply the benefits contributed by this scientific development and to overcome the demerits and challenges faced in today’s agricultural practices, this paper aims at discussing methodologies that can be used to build an agricultural model that is much simpler and more efficient. The model aims at automation using IoT that could lead to minimized labor efforts by almost refraining human intervention in agricultural practices. Machine learning algorithms can be used for weather and soil-based crop detection for better productivity. The downside caused due to the use of synthetic chemicals can be overcome using organic methods. A web portal to facilitate direct producer-to-consumer retail can be deployed to curb the exploitation of farmers by the elimination of middlemen. Hence, the paper aims at developing an agricultural model based on IoT, machine learning, organic farming, and a web portal for direct producer-to-consumer retail.
