Abstrakt: India's economy is mostly based on agriculture. Agriculture and allied sectors account for around 16 percent of India's GDP, while agriculture and related businesses employ about 60 percent of the country's rural families. Smart farming is one of the most essential Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Smart farming saves water and fertilizer while increasing crop output. Agriculture that is smart will expand to every part of the planet. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in smart farming has a lot of promise. Conversely, the cost and ease of maintaining UAVs for smart farming may be a major factor in farmers' decision to use UAVs in farming. Farmers may use any smart phone to control their UAVs and agricultural sensors that are Bluetooth Smart enabled. Smart agriculture, which modernizes present traditional agricultural processes, is one of the most potential answers to this problem. As a result, the paper's goal is to use technology to make agriculture smarter. Smart drones have sensors built into them that feed into a network architecture that connects them to other devices via Internet technologies, allowing them to communicate and therefore become smart. Smart GPS-based remote-controlled sensors and drones are featured prominently in this work to conduct activities such as surveillance, agricultural spraying, moisture detection, and leaf wetness sensing, among others. Second, Smart irrigation is incorporated as well as intelligent control and decision-making grounded on precise real-time field data acquired by drones. All these parameters may be controlled from any computer or Internet- connected smart device, and interfacing sensors linked to a gateway via communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Lora WAN, ZigBee, and BLE modules will be utilized for carrying out the operations, depending on the application. This article also analyzed worldwide market trends for smart farming, as well as comparing China's productivity to India's in terms of harvested area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
