Abstract: Agriculture is the most significant sector in human life. This sector provides all fundamental necessities to human beings. Agriculture sector also plays a essential role in the economy. Using modern IOT based technologies we can improve our traditional farming to the next level. This paper puts forward the idea of the use of LoRa technology for the improvisation of our traditional methodologies of farming. With the help of this, farmers can measure the moisture of soil, temperature, humidity, and pH level of soil using different sensors, LoRa technology, and Cloud computing technology. The data generated from different modules is collected at gateway and gateway sends that data to Things Network thereafter all that organized information is given to end-user. Then end-user must take appropriate action on data. This whole process is done with low power consumption and with a wide range of access. Using LoRa gateway about 10Km range we can access data and take action on data. LoRa Technology and cloud computing enhance the rapid growth of the agricultural sector and modernization. This helps in getting solutions to agriculture and farming-related queries.
