Abstract: Agriculture continues to be the backbone of most farm-based economies, both as a major economic sector and as a source of employment. Nevertheless, the sector still experiences major challenges like unpredictable climatic fluctuations, inadequate real-time monitoring of crops, poor resource use, and declining agricultural labor. The use of smart agriculture, which merges modern technologies with conventional farming, presents effective solutions to these challenges. This article proposes a smart agriculture system that utilizes the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). IoT sensors allow for realtime environmental data acquisition, while AI facilitates predictive modeling and self-learning decision-making. Blockchain technology further helps in secure, transparent, and efficient management of agricultural supply chains. The suggested method increases productivity, minimizes wastage of resources, and optimizes supply chain processes, and thus supports sustainable and technology-based agriculture.
