Smart Hydroponics System for Soilless Farming Based on Internet of Things

Abstract

Hydroponics agriculture is a soilless development strategy where the plant is developed with the assistance of nutrient-rich supplements and water alone, and consequently, it gives an answer for the developing shortage of horticultural land. The point of this work is to plan and build an indoor programmed vertical hydroponic framework that does not rely upon the external environment. The planned framework is able to develop normal kinds of harvests that can be utilized as a food source inside homes without the need of huge space. This process of cultivation is widely gaining favor in countries where there are less arable lands by which the land required for producing food crops keeps on decreasing. Specifically, land locked countries with less sources of freshwater, deserts, and urbanized countries with larger developed spaces than open lands. In this paper, a hydroponics cultivating stage is planned and grown purposefully for the development of green feed expected for domestic household purposes. The proposed work is to automate the process of hydroponics through IoT implementation through which the cultivation can be monitored remotely and also start correcting the environment to maintain stable growth. The aim of this paper is the hope to develop a novel farming method that may well be the future of farming.
