Smart Aeroponic Farming System

Abstract

This research addresses the critical challenge of food scarcity exacerbated by limited arable land and unsustainable traditional agricultural practices. A smart aeroponic farming system was developed and implemented, leveraging vertical farming techniques and Internet of Things (IoT) technology to cultivate crops in a controlled environment. The system integrates sensors for real-time monitoring of environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, pH, light, and nutrient levels) and automated control of water and nutrient delivery, and lighting. The implementation of this system demonstrates significant improvements in resource utilization, enhancing productivity, and minimizing the reliance on pesticides. The system also facilitates remote monitoring and control, promoting local food security and self-sufficiency. This research provides a viable and sustainable solution to enhance agricultural practices and address food scarcity, paving the way for broader adoption of smart farming technologies
