Abstract:
Agriculture in semi-arid regions presents significant challenges due to harsh climatic conditions and
scarce water resources. Our project aims to develop a smart greenhouse system using Arduino
technology to achieve sustainable agriculture in these regions. This involves using advanced
technologies to control the greenhouse's internal environment, including temperature, humidity, and
soil moisture, to provide optimal conditions for crop growth and improve resource efficiency. We
began the project with a comprehensive understanding of the concept and objectives of agricultural
greenhouses and conducted in-depth research on the impact of climate inside greenhouses and how to
improve it for the best agricultural outcomes. Choosing the Arduino unit as a main tool allowed us to
program the system with high flexibility to meet our specific needs, along with using various sensors to
transmit physical data to the Arduino unit, enabling precise monitoring of environmental parameters.
The smart greenhouse system integrates data collection from sensors and analysis using the Arduino
control unit, which issues necessary commands to control irrigation, ventilation, and lighting systems.
This integration between data collection and automatic control helps improve crop productivity and
reduce water consumption, enhancing the sustainability of the agricultural process in semi-arid regions.
