Abstract
Productiveness present in soil, productive weather conditions, plant growth information, rainfall in regional areas, and information on seed planting, among other things are significant parameters to consider for the development and improvement of Indian agriculture. All parameters can be gathered via IoT sensors and digital devices and stored in real-time database environments for sharing with digital machines. It aids farmers in obtaining information on all aspects of agriculture. Modern farming may be recorded using different sensors, smart digital cameras, and gadgets such as micro-chips thanks to the internet technology era. The automated technology provided by the internet of things (IoT) assists farmers in a variety of ways, including the most efficient use of resources (resources are finite) and agricultural problems.

Bio-Farming as the Basis of Environmentally-Sustainable Arable Farming at the Time of Global Warming
Is a natural substrate formed during the transformation of the surface layers of the Earth’s land under the influence of a complex of soil-forming factors from rocks into a natural-historical body characterized by fertility. Soils and underwater silts form the pedosphere, a special envelope of the Earth, actively interacting with neighboring geospheres.
