The development of smart farm with environmental analysis

Abstract

This work is an on-going research to develop a smart farm system with environmental analysis for terrace vegetable farming with web application. The terrace farm is separated into 3 levels of moisture settings according to the type of vegetables that require low, medium or high moisture content. The environmental sensors monitor the moisture in the soil and send the information to the database of the farm server. The processed information from the sensors will be analyzed and then provide the appropriate environmental factors in plant growth. The smart farm can be monitored and controlled by web application. This smart farm is considered low carbon agriculture due to the power usage from the community microgrid of 25 kW PV system.
