System Design for Internet of Things Assisted Urban Aquaponics Farming

Since Taiwan is a small and overcrowded island, the advance of ICT technology promotes the development of quality agriculture. In this paper, we transfer the commercial aquaponic system to the home / urban one. That is, this paper not only adjusts the ratio of fish and plants, but also reduces food miles and carbon emission. The main goal is keeping self-sustaining. According to our experimental results, the number of fish can be reduced from 30 to 15, and the number of planted plants is increased from 20 to 30. The plant harvest has a 50% increment.
