IoT-Based Home Vertical Farming
Abstract
Worldwide, around three million hectares of agricultural land are lost each year as a result of soil degradation and conversion for various development purposes, which in turn reduced the crop yield. Vertical farming is a type of farming method which cultivates crops using vertical structures and controlled environment which maximize the production and efficiency from minimum area. The proposed system is cultivating in a carefully controlled environment where saplings will be planted on nutrient media on chambers illuminated with LED lights. This study will also integrate the vertical farming structure with the Internet of Things. Hence, automate the farm activities with less human intervention and eradicate all the issues that may arise in between and control the farming activities from remote places using the mobile application. Crop yield forecasting features use convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to improve the yield.
