	%X This paper is to present context-aware sensor grid
framework for agriculture and its design challenges. Use of sensor
networks in the domain of agriculture is not new. However, due to
the unavailability of any common framework, solutions that are
developed in this domain are location, environment and problem
dependent. Keeping the need of common framework for agriculture,
Context-Aware Sensor Grid Framework is proposed. It will be
helpful in developing solutions for majority of the problems related
to irrigation, pesticides spray, use of fertilizers, regular monitoring of
plot and yield etc. due to the capability of adjusting according to
location and environment. The proposed framework is composed of
three layer architecture including context-aware application layer,
grid middleware layer and sensor network layer.
