Journal: 6th Conference on Cloud and Internet of Things, Lisbon, Portugal.
Date: March 20-22, 2023
Description: This paper Integrating IoT technology into vertical farming and Controlled Environment
Agriculture (CEA) has proven to enhance productivity and sustainability. IoT systems optimize critical factors
such as temperature, humidity, and light, as demonstrated by Ahamed et al. (2019). Automated irrigation and
nutrient delivery, highlighted by Zhang et al. (2020), reduce labor and improve efficiency. Cloud-based
platforms, discussed by Kim et al. (2021), enable real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making,
boosting crop yields. Despite challenges like cost and power consumption, recent prototypes focus on cost-
effective, low-power sensors suitable for indoor use. These advancements indicate IoT's transformative
potential in modernizing urban agriculture and promoting sustainable food production.

Journal: 9th International Conference for Convergence in Technology (I2CT), Pune, India.
Date: Apr 5-7, 2024
Description: This paper Integrating IoT technology in vertical farming, particularly for pollination, represents
a significant advancement in agricultural practices. Previous studies have highlighted the critical role of
pollination in crop yield, with innovations like air-controlled pollination addressing this need effectively.
Research by Sharma et al. (2020) demonstrated the use of air currents to mimic natural wind pollination,
optimizing parameters such as air velocity and direction to synchronize with plant growth stages. Additionally,
IoT-enabled systems, as explored by Lee et al. (2019), facilitate precise environmental control, enhancing
pollination efficiency. These technologies not only improve crop yields but also promote biodiversity and
sustainability in vertical farming, showcasing the transformative potential of combining IoT with ecological
principles for modern agriculture.

Author: Hadjer Bouzebiba, Oussama Hadj Abdelkader, A. Pedro Aguiar
Journal: 9th World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)
Date: 2023
Description: This paper implementing IoT for managing plant light requirements in vertical farming is a
growing area of research. Studies by Ahamed et al. (2019) and Zhang et al. (2020) have shown that IoT systems
enhance precision in environmental control, crucial for optimizing plant growth. This paper builds on these
findings by employing interconnected wireless microcontrollers in a master-slave configuration, connected
via 6LowPAN technology and managed by the RPL routing protocol. Such systems enable precise, real-time
monitoring and distributed control of light conditions, as evaluated by Sharma et al. (2021), improving data
transfer quality and energy efficiency, ultimately supporting sustainable vertical farming practices.

Description: This paper integrating IoT and Big Data Analytics in vertical farming addresses critical challenges
in modern agriculture. With a focus on controlled environment agriculture (CEA), this approach enables
precise monitoring and automation of environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and pH, crucial for
optimizing crop health and yield. Research by Ahamed et al. (2019) and Zhang et al. (2020) demonstrates
IoT's role in enhancing data accuracy and operational efficiency in agricultural settings. By leveraging Big Data
Analytics, as explored by Kim et al. (2021), real-time data analysis facilitates informed decision-making and
predictive modeling, supporting sustainable food production amidst global population growth and land

POSSIBLE OUTCOMES OF THE PROJECT:

1. Increased Efficiency and Productivity: Implementing the IoT-based monitoring system will lead to
higher crop yields and improved produce quality through precise adjustments to environmental
conditions, while reducing labor costs and human error.
2. Sustainable Farming Practices: Data-driven irrigation and nutrient management will significantly
reduce water and nutrient wastage, promoting more sustainable farming practices and lowering the
environmental footprint of vertical farming.
3. Enhanced Crop Yield and Quality: Continuous monitoring and automated interventions will
maintain optimal growing conditions, resulting in healthier crops, higher yields, and better quality
produce.
