<br/><br/> This study explores the development and implementation of an IoT-based Vermi-<br/>cast composting system designed to enhance the productivity and sustainability of<br/><br/>agricultural practices. The primary objective was to create an automated,<br/>environmentally responsive system that monitors and controls critical parameters<br/>such as temperature, humidity, and moisture levels, thereby improving composting<br/>efficiency. The system was built using the ESP32 platform and integrated with solar<br/>power for sustainable operation. A waterfall development approach was employed<br/>in the design process, with a web interface enabling remote monitoring and<br/>automated environmental control. The system’s performance was evaluated in<br/>compliance with the ISO 25010:2011 standards, focusing on functional suitability,<br/>performance efficiency, usability, reliability, and user satisfaction. Ten farmers<br/>from Barangay North Sinisian, Calaca City, Batangas, tested the system, yielding<br/>an overall satisfaction rating of 4.826. The findings revealed that the IoT-based<br/>system significantly outperformed traditional composting methods in terms of<br/>operational sustainability, composting efficiency, and user convenience. The<br/>system contributes to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12<br/>by promoting resource efficiency and sustainable infrastructure. In conclusion, the<br/>IoT-based Vermi-cast system demonstrates substantial potential for improving<br/>agricultural practices by providing an automated, resource-efficient, and scalable<br/>solution for composting, making it a promising tool for promoting sustainable<br/>agricultural practices.
