Deskripsi/Abstrak

Urban farming refers to transferring conventional agriculture to urban agriculture, which is different in terms of participants and planting media. Conventional agriculture pays more attention to production results, while urban farming pays more attention to the offender's character, that is, urban society. As urban communities are aware of a healthy lifestyle, urban agriculture has become a way of life. On the other hand, the effects of traditional agriculture methods include environmental degradation caused by waste from its processing, disruption of food supplies from weather volatility, and wasteful energy used. Conventional agriculture seems innovative, sustainable, and economically viable solutions. In response to these problems, aquaponics combines aquaculture, breeding, and raising aquatic organisms such as fish, shrimp, crabs in a controlled environment, and hydroponics production plant in the soilless medium in a mutually beneficial environment. In recirculating aquaculture, nutrients, which are wastes eliminated directly by fish or produced by microbial breakdown of organic waste, are absorbed by plants cultivated hydroponically. Internet of Things (IoT) is a construction that combines information and energy processes to control extensive collections of different objects (N Bari et al., 2013). Extending the Internet into the real world is the IoTs' target and vision. Internet of Things is a new revolution of the Internet. Objects make themselves recognizable, and they obtain intelligence by making or enabling context-related decisions through communicating information about themselves. They can access information that other things have aggregated or be components of complex services (O. Vermesan).
