LORA-BASED REMOTE AGRICULTURE MONITORING FOR RURAL

Abstract

Agriculture is the main source of livelihood in rural areas, but farmers often face problems such as irregular irrigation, lack of real-time field information, and high labor effort. This project presents a LoRa-based Remote Agriculture Monitoring System to support rural sustainability. The system uses sensors to measure important parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and light intensity. These sensor values are transmitted wirelessly over long distances using LoRa technology, which consumes very low power and is suitable for rural environments. The received data is displayed on a monitoring unit or uploaded to an IoT platform for remote observation. Based on the sensed data, farmers can make better decisions regarding irrigation and crop management. The system can also be powered using solar energy, making it cost effective and eco-friendly. This project helps in improving crop productivity, reducing water wastage, and promoting smart and sustainable agriculture in rural areas. Agriculture is one of the most important sectors for rural development. However, farmers often face challenges such as water scarcity, irregular irrigation, and the lack of real-time information about field conditions. This project proposes a LoRa-Based Remote Agriculture Monitoring System that enables farmers to monitor their fields remotely using low-power, long-range wireless communication. The system uses sensors to measure soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and light intensity. These sensor values are collected by an ESP32 microcontroller and transmitted through LoRa technology to a receiver, where the data is displayed on a web dashboard or mobile application.
