Smart Agriculture / Urban Farming

Smart agriculture and urban farming in Malaysia are gaining momentum with various innovative projects. Urban Farm Tech is a significant player, focusing on creating sustainable urban agricultural practices through hydroponic and aquaponic systems that reduce water usage, eliminate pesticides, and increase crop yield​. Smart agriculture combines traditional farming with IoT and cloud solutions, allowing farmers to monitor crops in real-time, enhancing efficiency and yield. Their system includes soil and weather monitoring, pest control, and more, making data-driven decisions accessible for better productivity​.


Hydroponics is a method of growing plants with a nutrient-rich solution, a combination of water and fertilizer. Instead of soil in traditional farming, supporting media that are commonly used for hydroponics are rock wool, peat moss, clay pellets, or sponge.
