Abstract

Agriculture, with its allied sectors, is the largest source of livelihoods in India. 70% of its rural households still depend primarily on agriculture for their livelihood, with 82% of farmers being small and marginal. Over generation we have seen and used the conventional method of farming to producing our own food from soil. This method used the nutrients of the soil to enrich the sowed seed and sprout them to grow into a vegetable. This novel research work proposes an innovative way of growing vegetable crops at home in a hassle-free manner. Plantation has been one of the main key factors in today’s world as it is the main source of nutrition. The adopted farming module will integrate the use of technology with the farming to increase the productivity and also to cut the middlemen so that the quality of the food we grow is not lost and also, we receive the right amount of nutrition. House farming is still a practise which is not done by many, this is mainly due to the fact of insufficient knowledge. Automation based farming helps in enriching the nutrients of crops to the fullest. This method integrates the traditional farming technique and the technological aspect of robotics (i.e., sensors). The use of this method will be very useful to the public as it takes very less effort for the public to farming at their own comfort with minimal effort.
