Abstract

Urban agriculture allows taking advantage of the free spaces on the roofs, in such a way that you can have fresh vegetables for consumption. Particularly, hydroponic cultivation has become a very interesting alternative for vegetable production using water mixed with a nutrient solution instead of soil. This paper presents a system architecture, based on the IoT paradigm, for monitoring variables in hydroponic urban growing. This architecture involves five layers, and allows monitoring a set of variables that are relevant for this activity. Based on this architecture, a monitoring system was implemented and then evaluated through experiments performed on the roof of a house in Peru. The results show that the system prototype works properly, opening opportunities for urban agriculture in the region.
