Abstract
This paper shows the development of a small crop monitoring system through the measurement of environmental factors and the use of the Internet of Things (IoT). The purpose of this research article is the deployment of a system that allows the collection of data generated by environmental factors included in crop growth. Its objective is to monitor the processes in small-scale crops, as elements that ensure the food security of certain rural populations. This system allows the collection, interaction and management of the information provided by the monitored variables. The results show that the system can present complete information of controlled environmental factors.
