Aquaponic farming integrates aquaculture and hydroponics sustainability in food production Aquaponics combines aquaculture and hydroponics for creating an environmentally friendly and sustainable way of food production. Yet, the current solutions are not efficient as they have low level of automation and lack of real-time monitoring. In this paper, a Smart Aquaponic System (SAS) with Internet of Things(IoT) and automated actuators is proposed for continuous monitoring of the water quality (pH, temperature, turbidity, & humidity) and light intensity. The system also exploits cloud connection for remote read out and control. The experimental deployment proved that productivity increased, manual intervention diminished and sustainability increased. The SAS offers a scalable and intelligent solution to address global food security challenges.
