Abstract

The unremitting trends of increasing population, urbanization, diminishing water supply, and continuing climate change have contributed to declining stocks of arable land per person. Land available for farming is shrinking, and the demand for food is growing. All of these lead to food insecurity. For the first version of Smart Vertical Farm System is designed to increase food productions by an automatic system. It built with shelves which support soil and hydroponic system, stacked vertically. The system first shovels the soil in the tray and sews the seeds. There is also additional watering system. The hydroponic parts are on the second and third trays. And the final version is based on Circulated hydroponic. The system is using LEDs lighting instead of sunlight. Smart Vertical Farm System is an innovation that helps to produce high-quality, clean food while reducing time and water resources. It brings greater yields in smaller areas, increases access to healthy food in the urban area, and helps save the environment since it allows farmers to monitor their farms with greater accuracy and plan how to maximize yields.
