A Smart Agricultural Model by Integrating IoT, Mobile and Cloud-based Big Data Analytics

Nowadays, the traditional database paradigm does not have enough storage for the data produced by Internet of Things (IoT) devices leads to the need of cloud storage. These data's are analyzed with the help of Big Data mining techniques. Cloud based big data analytics and the IoT technology performs an important role in the feasibility study of smart agriculture. Smart or precision agricultural systems are estimated to play an essential role in improving agriculture activities. Mobile device usage is very common by everyone, including the farmers. In that, in the daily life of farmers the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play a vital role to get the agricultural Information. The IoT has various applications in Digital Agriculture domain like monitoring the crop growth, selection of the fertilizer, irrigation decision support system, etc. In this paper, IoT device is used to sense the agricultural data and it is stored into the Cloud database. Cloud based Big data analysis is used to analyze the data viz. fertilizer requirements, analysis the crops, market and stock requirements for the crop. Then the prediction is performed based on data mining technique which information reaches the farmer via mobile app. Our ultimate aim is to increase the crop production and control the agricultural cost of the products using this predicted information.
