Climate change is having a strong impact on agriculture. Smallholder farmers and those practicing subsistence agriculture are most affected. IoT monitoring tools enable real-time monitoring of crops to make decisions and better manage resources. For such tools to be attractive to smallholder and subsistence farmers, the system must be inexpensive and easy to use, preferably with interfaces with which the user is already familiar. The goal of the research was to develop a low-cost system with commercially available components and a familiar user interface. The system has successfully passed the first tests and is now being implemented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
