Recent advancements in technology can help farmers make insightful, data-driven decisions based on environmental conditions. Accurate real-time data can determine where to plant crops, how much water to irrigate, and how to best protect plants from pests and diseases. As a result, farmers can improve their efficiency, productivity, and sustainability while conserving valuable resources. In this project, we aim to build a farm monitoring station capable of measuring soil moisture, ambient temperature, humidity, and lighting and sending the recorded information to a cloud server. Users should be able to monitor the measurements on a live web-based dashboard. Problem Statement Farmers need to collect a variety of environmental data from their farms in a cost-effective manner to optimize their agricultural practices.
