K. Ashitha, S. Bhavana, M. L. Vanishree

Abstract


IoT is one of the newly evolving technologies in the world. The inconsistent rainfall and the abrupt climate changes have caused many problems over the years. This gave rise to a new method to be implemented in the field of agriculture called Climate-smart agriculture. Climate-smart agriculture responds to the growing need for food, fiber and fuel as the climate changes. CSA focuses on contributing to economic development and building natural capital.

Keywords
