Abstract

The increasing demand for sustainable agriculture and growing concerns about food security have sparked the development of an automated aquaponics system that merges IoT and solar technologies. Present-day agricultural practices grapple with challenges related to sustainability, resource management, and food security, characterized by excessive water usage, heavy reliance on chemicals, and susceptibility to environmental risks. This project seamlessly integrates hardware components, such as sensors, pumps, and valves, with software systems capable of real-time data collection, analysis, and prompt responses. The utilization of IoT technology enables remote monitoring and control, while the integration of solar power diminishes dependence on the grid, promoting sustainability. Employing ESP32 microcontrollers with Wi-Fi connectivity, the system gathers data from various sensors like pH, TDS, ultrasonic, soil moisture, and DHT11, transmitting it to a cloud- based platform for comprehensive analysis and decision-making. Continuous monitoring yields real-time insights, resulting in enhanced yields, healthier produce, and improved fish production. With its user-friendly design, adaptability to local conditions, and integration with the Blynk platform, the system becomes accessible to small-scale farmers, offering a promising solution to advance sustainable agriculture and strengthen food security.
