Abstract

The future of farming has been one of the most talked-about issues on world forums, with the world population increasing yearly there is a special need to develop more efficient ways to grow food and distribute them effectively. This work discusses the design and implementation of a greenhouse smart farming echo system for the cultivation and distribution of plants using mushrooms as a focused product, linking a farm environment to a business market (cultivation processes and supply chain). A greenhouse farm smartly monitored with embedded devices, a control interface for these devices, and a web platform for product distribution and consumer management platform was developed to create a unified smart agricultural echo system. The embedded system has sensors that monitor the levels of light, temperature, soil moisture and humidity and automatically open the tap to water the farm. In addition, the supply chain was designed for the distribution of farm products. The prototype was fabricated and tested. The results showed that both the electronic part and the supply chain are working as proposed.

Highlights

  • Greenhouse smart farming is an emerging concept that refers to the digitalization of agriculture by using modern information and communication technologies to automate agricultural processes

  • And Discussion This section is concerned with the testing of the Smart farming echo system

  • Control Interface This is like a remote control for smart farm owners to manipulate sensors from the comfort of a host device

Summary

Introduction

Greenhouse smart farming is an emerging concept that refers to the digitalization of agriculture by using modern information and communication technologies to automate agricultural processes (cultivation and supply-chain management). Agricultural processes are getting smarter in this era of digital transformation with more automated processing methods and business intelligence for agronomic information to illuminate, predict and affect the continuum of cultivation issues across farm businesses [1,2]. Agriculturists rely upon their gut to figure out the vital operations which can have an adverse effect on their production. The use of data from sensors [3] and customer relationship management interfaces [4] with farmers can be able to optimize production from anywhere in the world These digital technologies have revolutionized agriculture by helping farmers work more precisely, efficiently and sustainably. Data-driven insights can improve decision-making and help increase environmental and economic performance
