An Efficient Smart Agriculture System Based on The Internet of Things Using Aeroponics Method

Agriculture has always been the largest industry in our country in terms of employment. The ongoing migration of people from rural to urban regions is hindering agriculture. The Internet of Things (IoT) has been evolving platform which aims to link various smart hardware elements with multi-domain upgrading. The Internet of Things is transforming the farming industry by giving farmers a wide collection of tools to handle a variety of difficulties they experience on the farm. The objective of smart farming is to improve agricultural efficiency and productivity by utilizing cutting-edge information technologies. Farmers can use IoT-enabled devices to connect to their farms practically anywhere and anytime. To efficiently adapt, soil-less agriculture is an alternative method in smart farming. This article discusses efficient smart agriculture based on IoT using the aeroponics method. The covered cultivation facilities, the hydroponic farming method, known as aeroponics, is becoming increasingly popular since it uses air as a growth medium and allows exposed roots to get enough oxygen. It also requires less maintenance because there is no chance of weed growth and no need to apply chemicals or pesticides. The water consumption for different plants with yield time comparison has been discussed using aeroponics and other traditional farming methods.
