Rapid urbanization and increasing demand for food production have made the need for sustainable agriculture practices unavoidable. The concept of vertical farming stands out from among various sustainable agriculture practices, especially if coupled with IoT technology for Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), which enables resource optimization and optimal plant growth in indoor settings. Concerning the aims of the research paper, it can be stated that the major purpose of this paper will be to develop a vertical farming model through IoT technology using ESP32 microcontroller and the Blynk application. It will be possible to utilize the developed vertical farming system for monitoring the environment with regard to soil moisture, temperature, and moisture levels. Additionally, during the process of monitoring, it will be possible to monitor the pH and conductivity levels of the soil. Furthermore, it will be possible to utilize the pump and grow lights.
