Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing its way in a number of application domains as its potential effects are being implemented in various scenarios. Agriculture is a domain in which IoT can prove highly beneficial by improving operational efficiency through using the resources carefully, disease monitoring, harvesting process etc. In our paper we develop a decision based support system for smart farming that exploits data from a multitude of sources that provide vital information. Specifically, we combine data from a number of sensors receive via a LoRa WAN network along weather and crop data to carry out informed decisions which at the current stage are primarily focusing on the usage of water as well as crop protection from adverse weather which is increasingly troubling farmers due to the climate changes the whole world is experiencing. In our implementation we utilize off-the-shelf hardware and industry standards demonstrating the high potential of our proposal while indicating that the technological barriers are significantly lower now a days.
