Abstract : Agriculture is at a pivotal point in addressing global challenges such as food security, environmental sustainability, and resource efficiency, driven by a rapidly growing population and the impacts of climate change. Traditional farming methods, while effective in earlier eras, are insufficient to meet these challenges, necessitating the adoption of advanced technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud analytics. These innovations enable precision agriculture, which leverages data-driven decision-making to enhance productivity, optimize resource utilization, and minimize environmental impact. This review focuses on the integration of IoT and cloud analytics within the framework of smart farming systems, highlighting the transformative potential of real-time data collection, predictive modelling and user-centric interfaces. The study critically examines state-of-the-art solutions such as IoT-enabled sensors for soil and crop monitoring, cloud platforms for data aggregation and real-time analytics, and AI-based algorithms for predictive and prescriptive insights. While these advancements demonstrate significant promise, challenges such as data security, system scalability, and accessibility for smallholder farmers remain pressing. In light of these gaps, the proposed "Smart Farming System With Cloud Analytics" aims to address critical limitations by offering a scalable, cost-effective, and user-friendly platform that integrates real-time IoT data, predictive analytics, and region-specific insights. By leveraging open-source technologies, the system provides intuitive dashboards that empower farmers with actionable recommendations, regardless of technical expertise. By bridging the gap between cutting-edge innovations and practical applications, the "Smart Farming System with Cloud Analytics" has the potential to redefine the agricultural landscape, fostering a more productive and sustainable future.
