Abstract: This study aimed to develop an aeroponics system suitable for urban farming. The system's design and performance were evaluated for growing basil. The aeroponics system, featuring a nutrient tank, net pots, and a misting fertigation setup, showed promising results. The pH and EC levels were monitored and maintained within optimal ranges, ensuring satisfactory plant growth. The system's efficiency in nutrient delivery and water usage highlighted its potential for urban agriculture. The findings suggest that aeroponics can be a viable solution for sustainable farming in urban areas, offering improved growth rates and resource efficiency.
