Abstract : Current agriculture faces a multitude of issues – limited seasons, excessive pesticide use, sustainability concerns in organic farming, high carbon footprint, and inconsistent produce quality. Traditional methods, restricted by seasons and harming the environment with pesticides, are struggling to keep up with a changing world. This paper proposes a groundbreaking solution: an automated hydroponic farm system. Unlike traditional methods, this system allows year-round, pesticide-free production through advanced growing stations using a precise nutrient delivery technique (NFT). To create perfect growing conditions, a Greenhouse Climate Control System with various sensors regulates factors like temperature, humidity, and light. Additionally, a Central Console acts as the brain of the system, connecting everything and monitoring the entire farm. By automating these processes, this hydroponic system aims to revolutionize agriculture, offering a sustainable, efficient, and high-quality alternative.

Keywords : Year-Round Production, Pesticide-Free Cultivation, Sustainable Food Production, Precise Nutrient Delivery (NFT), Greenhouse Climate Control System (Sensors, Temperature, Humidity, Light), Growing Stations (NFT), Central Console (Monitoring, Control).
