Sistema de controle ambiental para cultivo em fazenda vertical

Abstract

This paper addresses the increasing demand for food due to the growth of the world's population, which is expected to reach more than 9 billion people by 2050. To meet this need, vertical farms have emerged, allowing for the cultivation of fresh produce in urban areas. The proposed project aims to analyze temperature, air and soil humidity, and pressure conditions, as well as control soil moisture through sensors and actuators controlled by a microprocessor. The collected data is transferred via TCP-IP network to a web server that presents it in a userfriendly way. This allows the user to make changes to the control parameters without having to reprogram the entire system. Parameter control adjustments were made with the goal of obtaining relevant data about environmental conditions and their influence on plant growth. While a detailed understanding of the plant growth process was not achieved, the obtained data can be useful for future research and analysis. The project offers solutions for efficient food production in urban environments and for the study of seed development, thus contributing to meeting the growing demand for food and increasing the availability of fresh produce in urban areas.
