Abstract

The integration of cloud computing with smart agriculture technologies has improved farming efficiency and crop management. This paper proposes a cloud-enabled precision farming system that uses IoT sensors, satellite data, and predictive analytics for monitoring soil conditions, irrigation, and crop health. Cloud platforms provide centralized storage, data processing, and remote accessibility for farmers and agricultural experts. Experimental analysis demonstrates improved productivity, reduced water consumption, and better decision-making. The study highlights the role of cloud computing in promoting sustainable and technology-driven agriculture.
