<![CDATA[The rapid growth of population and urbanization poses significant challenges to global food security, particularly in urban areas. The conversion of agricultural land into residential and infrastructure zones reduces local food production capacity, while climate change exacerbates uncertainties in crop yields. To address these challenges, IoT-based vertical farming has emerged as an innovative solution to enhance efficiency and sustainability in food production systems. IoT technology enables vertical farming systems to monitor and control environmental variables such as temperature, humidity, lighting, and nutrient levels in real-time through sensors connected to artificial intelligence. The collected data is analyzed to optimize plant growth, minimize resource waste, and maximize crop yields while reducing energy consumption. Additionally, integrating IoT with automated irrigation systems and energy-efficient LED lighting further enhances water and electricity efficiency. From a sustainability perspective, IoT-based vertical farming allows for year-round food production without relying on vast land areas or favorable weather conditions. This research further explores how IoT contributes to improving resource efficiency, environmental sustainability, and the economic and social impacts of vertical farming. . Based on the research findings, the implementation of IoT in vertical farming has proven to be highly beneficial in enhancing sustainability and resource efficiency in urban food production. Through real-time monitoring and automated control systems, IoT enables precise regulation of key environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, lighting, and nutrient levels, ensuring optimal plant growth with minimal resource wastage.]]>
