Organic vegetable production under controlled atmospheres using low-cost technologies

Abstract

Historically, agriculture has undergone a series of revolutions that have increased efficiency, yield and profitability to previously unattainable levels. Market forecasts for the next decade suggest that a “digital agricultural revolution” will be the most innovative change that could help make agriculture meet the needs of the world’s population in the future (La, Las, & Rurales, 2019 , P 1). The adoption of agriculture 4.0 in the department of Quindío is low, which leads to the development of inefficient and profitable production models; The purpose of this project is the organic production of vegetables under controlled atmospheres, making use of low-cost measurement sensors (relative humidity, temperature, soil humidity), in order to validate their functionality
