In a country like India agriculture is the basic livelihood for people. It contributes a major portion in the economy of the country. In traditional farming techniques, irrigation requires manual intervention and a lot of cost, which is minimized using the automated technology of irrigation. Hydroponics in Greek language means “Agriculture without soil” which means in hydroponics just water is essential to sustain the growth of plants and provide them a strong medium for nutrient transportation. It is well known that as the urbanization of the world taking place, the total net sowing area of agriculture decreasing rapidly due to illegal encroachment of builders and industrialists which poses a question mark on food security as well as environment balance and pollution. The more urbanization takes place the more incidents of encroachment of agricultural fields are happening rapidly which is unchecked till now because of the rising rate of population growth in case of the world in general and India in particular. It’s time to think innovative as well as constructive in the direction of creating space for agriculture in manmade concrete jungles such as high rising buildings, mammoth size bungalows, congested societies, unhygienic and irregularly populated colonies and such spaces like this in urban areas, metro cities as well as small towns so that the high ending goals of food security as well as environment protection can be achieved together. Hydroponics could solve this problem and can help to achieve these two ambitious goals in single go. As hydroponics is a technique which doesn’t require actual natural soil or humus to sustain the plant growth, rather it requires electronically controlled environment along with water solution of exact nutrient composition for exact type of crop and this plant can be installed anywhere. Now in this paper, the implementation of controlled hydroponics is described over the roof of high rising buildings as these spaces are not used for any of commercial activity and easy to sustain the growth of hydroponics plant using sensors and Internet of Things.
