Abstract
In recent times, the issue of food wastage has slowly become one that is of great concern. The
Internet of Things is an evolving technology that provides solutions to problems. This work
implements an IoT hardware system that allows for the biological fermentation of organic food
waste into compost/fertilizer. The main objective of the project is to monitor conditions in the
IoT system through a mobile and web application. Using statistical, descriptive and predictive
analysis methods, the project was able to implement a 91.1% accurate system. Results show that
data from the system are consistent and high levels of waste induces higher temperatures and
humid conditions. This project will help curb the issue of food waste in homes by providing an
alternative use for organic food waste.
