Abstract: The food security problem of Nigeria keeps increasing. Recently Nigerians are going back into Agriculture not only as ameans of livelihood but as income generating venture. Farming is a seasonal venture in which during dry season, planting is not possible. To solve this problem, many farmers have started alternative way of getting water through irrigation. In norther part of Nigeria, the amount of rainfall is minimal. The objective of this work is to increase high crop productivity by devising proper automated irrigation system that can be used for proper crop irrigation in the aforementioned areas. This is to increasese the food supply to Nigeria populace. In this work, the design and simulation of a farm irrigation system being controlled by a Fuzzy Control system is carried out using MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory), Seeeduino microcontroller board and Arduino components. A case study of the project was carried out in FUTA Computer science lab. The observed result showed that the Irrigation system can be adequately controlled by the Fuzzy system.
