Since the Green Revolution, Traditional farming has not undergone any significant breakthrough in decades. Indoor cultivation, contrary to traditional farming, offers protection from floods and droughts and more control over crops that are being produced. This enhanced control allows us to monitor, maintain and optimize the crops being developed. In this paper, various sensors and actuators are used to automate the whole system and optimize growth for the crops by monitoring and maintaining the growth parameters of the crop. This is made efficient with the use of Hydroponics, a method of soilless cultivation that allows for high efficiency in the usage of nutrients and water. We introduce presets that indicate the ideal growing conditions of various crop types to the system, which allows it to optimize conditions for the highest yield.
