For every nation, farmers play the most essential role and that is to feed the population. To fulfill this role, farmers should produce good crops to help us sustain our basic needs. Seeing things from a wider perspective, producing good crops had become very difficult for every farmer because of the effects of climate change. Unpredictable weather and more severe events such as floods and droughts are some of the effects of climate change which greatly affects the productivity of crops by allowing the prosperity of weeds, pests, and fungi. The problem of growing crops had become a serious and critical matter which had resulted in low crop yield production, food shortage, and economic losses. Smart Hydroponic Farming using the NFT Method helps the farmer to stay connected to their farm anytime and anywhere. Various sensors and modules were used to monitor, control and collect farm conditions. The settings can be configured and viewed using the mobile application anytime and anywhere via the internet. This system is automated to maintain the water nutrient of the crop and would result in an increase in crop production. The farm owner can monitor water nutrients, acidity in the plant condition, humidity, temperature, and water level and also can control the hydroponic farm.
