In India, the agriculture sector has an adverse effect and day by day the crop production is getting reduced. So, it is important to identify and implement a solution for the problem in order to increase the production. Smart technologies are introduced in this domain to improve the agriculture industry. The technologies like IoT, big data, cloud-based services, and GPS are gaining its importance in the field of agriculture. There is a rising need due to the requirement of higher precision in crop analysis, transformation of live data from the field and automated farming techniques for further improvement. The expected result of this is to have smart agriculture industry with the implementation of these smart techniques. In this chapter, the authors have discussed the challenges and benefits of IoT and various types of sensor for data acquisition.
