Abstract

Smart Agriculture aims to develop a technology-based agricultural system that addresses climate resiliency, sustainability, and productivity of upland rice. The application of the internet of things to agricultural production effectively convey contemporary farm production to warrant food security. The agile model methodology was used in this study in developing an agricultural system that automates and controls temperature, relative humidity, and soil moisture. Microcontrollers are programmed to gather environmental data remotely utilizing internet technology. Environmental data was used as a stimulus to trigger irrigation and cooling system. Descriptive statistics had been used to assess the functional suitability, performance quality, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability and portability of the system developed by IT experts and upland rice farmers of Isabela. In general, in descriptive statistics, mean and standard deviations had been used to analyse the data relating to the reliability of the application produced and the assessment of IT experts and farmers. The developed application was found to adhere to ISO 25010 in terms of ISO 25010 compliance.
