Enhancing Decay Detection with Smart Technology: Insight in Snail Farming

Snail farming also known as heliciculture, is gaining traction for its economic and environmental advantages. Snails are a nutritious, sustainable food source and offer valuable products for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Particularly beneficial for developing countries, snail farming requires minimal infrastructure and can improve food security while mitigating environmental impacts. However, the death of a single snail can lead to significant losses, necessitating an effective system for detecting decay. This paper introduces a model designed to address this issue by utilizing sensors (MQ-3 and MQ-5) to detect Odors associated with decay, along with LED lights and a microcontroller for rapid detection. To enhance its functionality in regions with limited electricity, the system is powered by solar energy, showcasing the potential of renewable energy in advancing sustainable agriculture practices.
