Automatización y control de un prototipo modular autosustentable para la producción de alimentos

Abstract

Since 2009, Mexico faces a crisis due to scarcity and the consequent increase in prices of basic products. This situation is expected to continue, because the area available for cultivation, livestock and fishing is reaching its limit, while the population and its food needs are increasing. Today, strategies must be used to accelerate the production of plant and animal food that reduce costs and counter shortages. This article presents the development of a self-supporting vertical modular prototype for the production of vegetables and meat (poultry and fish) for the Sierra Norte region of Puebla, through the design and integration of an automated control system responding to the need to provide an alternative in food production. The prototype is made up of three modules: the first module is for raising fish, the second module is for vegetable production, the third module is for raising poultry. In this way, the project intends that, based on the methodology put in place, it can be implemented for food production in our region.
