Vertical Hydroponics System using IoT

With the use of modern technology and intensive farming practices, production can be greatly increased. With the shortage of water, the effects of climate change, the manpower shortage, and the shrinking amount of fertile land, hydroponics farming is emerging as a solution. In areas where access to fresh produce is limited, hydroponics farming offers a job opportunity, helps the community economy, and produces nutritious food. The fundamental goal of hydroponic farming is to promote healthy plant growth without the need of traditional soil. It is an innovative way of making the agriculture smarter. Instead of using soil to produce plants, hydroponics uses a water solution rich in vitamins and minerals. With the use of modern technology and intensive farming practices, production can be greatly increased by vertical farming, thereby contributing to agriculture. Integrating hydroponics with IOT may surely make farming more easy for the farmers by automating and perfecting every stage in the farm. For a plant to grow, it needs specific nutrients, some water, and sunlight. IoT device can monitor those needs automatically and regulate hydroponic systems and operate effectively in any environmental conditions. This will allow the farmer or the user of the hydroponic system effectively by generating alert whenever needed
