Design and development of an automated indoor horticulture system

Abstract

The swift process of urbanization and the escalating population in Bangladesh have caused a substantial decrease in agricultural area, leading to a loss in food production and a heightened reliance on imports. This study presents a remedy to tackle these difficulties by developing and executing a mechanized indoor horticulture system. The technique employs hydroponics, nutrient-enriched water, and cutting-edge technologies, such as LED lighting, to effectively cultivate crops without soil. The study examines the system's technical specifications, functional requirements, and non-functional concerns, with a particular focus on its possible socio-cultural and environmental advantages. In addition, the research investigates areas of insufficient knowledge in the specific context of developing nations such as Bangladesh. It examines the long-term financial viability, ecological consequences, potential for expansion, and societal reception of vertical hydroponic systems. The research highlights the significance of regulatory frameworks in guaranteeing food safety and quality in this developing industry. To summarize, the suggested automated indoor horticulture system offers a hopeful resolution to the urgent problems in Bangladesh's agriculture industry, providing a way towards sustainability, economic stability, and technological progress.
