A district which constitutes farms, processing and supply companies is termed as an Agro industrial district. In agriculture sectors, quality irrigation is possible using SWAMP (Smart Water Agricultural Management Platform) architecture. Among SWAMP, FIWARE is the most preferred open-source platform. The main component of FIWARE is Orion Context Broker (OCB) which manages and responds to the system with the information collected from the surrounding IoT system as shown in Figure 1.5 [14].

Energy constraint is considered as one of the main drawbacks of IoT. To overcome this disadvantage, solar energy is utilized in Smart Agriculture. The main functionalities involved are sensing of temperature, checking the crops’ condition, detecting the movement of things in fields which are monitored through DHT 11 sensors, moisture sensors, and PIR sensors [15]. In agricultural sectors, sustainable productivity can be obtained through moisture analysis, water contamination level, and soil health analysis and water quantity level.
