The increasing population and urbanization have created a massive gap in the demand-supply model of food grains. The world is facing an acute problem with global warming and EI Nino effects, which have affected the equilibrium of the food chain. It is a need of the hour to introduce new reforms in farming to reap increased yields and reduce dependency on natural resources. Hydroponics cultivation is a boon to the agricultural sector, it enhances the cultivation of plants in an organic way by enabling Internet of Things (IoT) technology and combines technology and conventional nutritional mechanisms to enable the co-plant's growth without the strain of nutrient deficiency. This research suggests a system that integrates hardware and software into the traditional hydroponics system that the users can use to have their plantation setup in an urban environment within a small and confined space at home. This system will benefit hobbyist gardeners and small-scale urban farmers seeking an efficient, compact, and smart solution for hydroponic plant cultivation.
人口增长和城市化加剧使得粮食供需模式出现巨大差距。全球正面临全球变暖和厄尔尼诺效应带来的严峻问题，这些已影响到食物链的平衡。当下迫切需要在农业领域推行新改革，以提高产量并减少对自然资源的依赖。水培种植对农业部门来说是一项福祉，它通过物联网技术以有机方式促进植物种植，并将技术与传统营养机制相结合，使共生植物在没有养分缺乏压力的情况下生长。本研究提出一种将硬件和软件集成到传统水培系统中的体系，用户可利用该体系在家庭狭小有限的空间内于城市环境中进行种植设置。该体系将惠及寻求高效、紧凑且智能的水培植物种植解决方案的业余园艺爱好者和小规模城市农民。
