Smart Hydroponic System Based On Nutrient Film Technique

Abstract

Food is the primary source of energy and nutrients for human. Agriculture is the most important sector for providing food in our world. Our very existence depends on agriculture. From the very beginning of human civilization humans begin cultivation for their survival. With time and situation, the demand of food increased rapidly all over the world. But the agricultural productivity is decreasing due to degradation of land quality and decreasing of fertile lands and other resources. Traditional agricultural method cannot take the challenge we are going to face nearby future. To meet the increased demand of food all over the world, we need new method like hydroponic farming system which uses small space and fast growing technique. By implementing automation in hydroponic we can increase production quantity as well as production quality. This project proposes a smart hydroponic system by using some sensors to collect real-time data and actuators to execute appropriate action. Smart hydroponic system can collect real-time data of the system where farmers can remotely monitor these values. Farmers don’t need additional knowledge to use this system. This system can directly impact on the agricultural production as well as on present farming method. To make the full use of our resources, this system helps farmer by providing data. Farmers can harvest more and make efficient decision with the help of this system.
