Abstract

Urban agriculture helps to address growing demand for sustainable food in densely populated areas. Aquaponics, a farming system that mixes aquaculture and hydroponics, could help cities produce food efficiently and sustainably. Aquaponic systems require close monitoring of many environmental factors and fast intervention. These challenges can be overcome by construct an IoT-integrated Smart Aquaponic System. IoT sensors and actuators will monitor water, moisture, and pH levels in the aquaponic system in real time. This data will be wirelessly sent to a control unit for analysis and decision-making. Machine learning algorithms will analyse data to improve system performance. The device then activates pumps and aerators to optimise fish and plant development. A smartphone interface will allow farmers or urban gardeners to remotely monitor and control the aquaponic system. This interface will display real-time system status, environmental data, and yield progress to let users make informed decisions and respond quickly. This Smart Aquaponic System with IoT integration aims to revolutionise urban agriculture by optimising crop yields, resource utilisation, and labour. Automating and optimising aquaponic systems in urban areas promotes self-sufficiency and reduces the environmental impact of conventional farming.
