Abstract

Increasing population in the world drives people to find a different type of feeding regime. Even if there is an immense augmentation in crowd brilliant innovators are looking for new ways of farming more efficiently. Hydroponics is one of the novel paths that is a planting system without soil. The system reduces water usage by 95% and with the same rate provides efficiency in the crop, furthermore, sustainability is highly supplied. Traditional smart farming applied in the rural area strains immense transportation and brokership costs. In these days innovators make smart agriculture in vessel containers. Especially vertical and smart farming made in the suburban area of the cities offers new opportunities on vegetables’ abundance. In this paper, the efficiency of this offered system is examined with minimizing the investment cost data. The system itself and the investment area have abounded with myriad uncertainties. Fuzzy logic tackles with those vaguenesses and fuzzy evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS) method supplies assistance in the decision-making process of system evaluation. A micro-based application is performed and attractive results are achieved.
