Development of Vertical Indoor Farming Using an Arduino and IoT

Most nations’ economies rely heavily on agriculture and farming. There are several things that can be done now with our technology to boost production. The increasing competition for land in Malaysia is making it harder to meet the country's expanding agricultural and population needs. The primary motivation for developing this concept was the desire to raise both food production and plant nutrition. In this report, we will discuss the concept of a vertical farming system, one way to enhance farming, especially in urban areas where land is scarce and expensive. For large-scale food production, farmers are turning to vertical farming, which takes place in tall buildings. All important metrics are tracked with vertical farming. The purpose of this investigation is to track a few factors that might influence plant development and to limit soil moisture by limiting plant water intake. Three variables (soil moisture, temperature, and humidity) are tracked by the system, but only soil moisture is manipulated. When a plant requires more water than the soil can provide naturally, irrigation is used to supply it. Since the water will be applied beneath the soil's surface, subsurface irrigation is employed. There appears to be little distinction between indoor and outdoor cultivation techniques.
