Abstract: In today’s urban life where we have limited space for
our gardens and limited time to monitor the needs for the growing
organic greens, a perfect solution would be an Automated IOT
(Internet of Things) based Terrace Model. This can certainly
provide the best performance, since it may employ decentralized
data processing to make important decisions in greens
management in a smart manner. This automated system helps in
ploughing the soil, sowing seeds, automatic watering to control
the moisture level in the soil, observe the live streaming of greens
growth in our smart phones until harvesting. It also ensures that
Organic Greens receive ideal attention, best agricultural
conditions, natural fertilizers and compost (derived from kitchen
waste) without any human intervention. This will encourage in
growing our own organic greens in an automated way within
limited space. In low-expense, this sustainable system can perform
plowing of the soil, injecting the seed’s, irrigation process along
with the live streaming of plants. In addition to this, the end-user
can monitor the parameters recorded by the sensors such as soil
moisture level, humidity value, temperature level etc. The user will
get messages about which plants need to be growing based on the
soil conditions along with that they get a message about the
intruder. The entire data about the sensors and the system will be
stored in the database and time to time modified values will be
updated. The modular system will reduce the human effort, labor
cost, power consumption, water usage etc. The user can grow
different species of leafy vegetables that can be easily maintained
and monitored without any effort.

I. INTRODUCTION
In the present Scenario, peoples demand for Organic food
and health consciousness has been increased. The
Researcher’s shown Interest to words the behavior of the
consumer regarding organic products, its cultivation process,
pricing etc, .According to the [1]. ”Organic” Refers to How
the Agricultural products are cultivated and processed. The

motivation towards organic products depends on consumer
labeling and their trust in maintaining the quality of the
products that spread the knowledge to the buyers about
organic food. It is necessary to evaluate buyer who pay for
organic food with a concern of health issue, quality,
nutrition’s, taste, price etc. Organic Agriculture not only
improves health but also prevents the environment. The [2].
explains the behavior of the buyer’s to select the organic
section in Grocery shops. Generally, the buyer chooses the
product based on the knowledge, favorable and unfavorable
attitude towards the products. In [3]. they coined the term
“Organic food” is the product which is grown without the use
of any man-made chemical fertilizers, form planting seeds to
till harvesting. The regulations for buying the products vary
from buyer to buyer due to attitude and knowledge on the
product.
The rise in population leads to Deforestation which leads to
having limited space and limited freshwater to grow organic
green leafy vegetables. The Excessive use of chemical
pesticide on greens is not only increasing the input cost, but it
is taking a toll on the soil, environment and of course human
health. Leafy vegetables are nutritional Goldbrick packed
with Vitamins, Minerals, fibers, and phytonutrients. Many of
the Employee’s, household and forebear want to grow their
Organic leafy vegetables but most of them fail in it, due
to/because of less garden/growing/cultivating space,
required more attention towards continuous monitoring of
plants growth from plowing the soil to harvesting which
includes injecting of seeds, watering the plants when and
where required. This model helps the user in achieving both
cultivation and irrigation process to grow organic greens
within a limited space without any human intervention.
In most of the Area’s in India, the leafy vegetables are
being cultivated using polluted drainage water which directly
affects the health of the people and indirectly leads to soil
pollution. To avoid the consumption of such harmful leafy
vegetables this sustainable and portable healthy system is
designed that helps in growing of organic leafy vegetables at
their specified location. The Designed Automated System
helps in maintain their Terrace garden within limited space
where they can cultivate their needed leafy vegetables with
natural compose that avoids the usage of chemicals Fertilizers
that improves the number of nutrients in the productivity. The
z-axis in the proposed model uses “conservation tillage”
method to form the seedbeds by breaking the soil, which also
helps in drainage and root growth. The seeds are
drilled/planted directly inch
below the seedbed surface by
using seed drill. So, they have
a better chance of germinating
