A smart greenhouse is a type of greenhouse that cultivates crops without human intervention. In a smart greenhouse, crops grow without climate adjustment or human intervention for a set period of time. Smart greenhouses utilise a variety of microprocessors and sensors to regulate the temperature and irrigation system. The primary goal of smart greenhouses is to increase farmer productivity and provide better agricultural outputs.

Drivers: The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) and AI-driven automation is a significant growth driver in the smart greenhouse industry, allowing for real-time monitoring and management of critical parameters including as temperature, humidity, and soil moisture. IoT sensors collect data, which AI systems analyse to optimise water usage, nutrient delivery, and lighting conditions, resulting in higher crop yields and less resource waste. Automated temperature control systems increase efficiency by altering settings based on predictive analytics. This technological integration benefits farmers by increasing productivity, sustainability, and cost savings, fuelling global demand for smart greenhouse solutions as agriculture evolves towards data-driven precision agricultural practices.

Challenges: The initial cost of establishing a smart greenhouse equipped with current technologies such as automated systems and IoT sensors is prohibitively expensive, prohibiting small-scale farmers and newcomers from adopting this innovative agricultural method.

Operating a smart greenhouse demands some technical expertise and continual learning. Farmers must be educated to handle complicated systems, which is especially difficult in locations with limited access to education and technology.

Market Trends: The increasing focus on sustainability and energy efficiency in greenhouse operations is an important trend driven by resource conservation and environmental concerns. Smart greenhouses are using advanced technologies like solar panels, rainwater systems, and better insulation to reduce energy usage. There is also a rise in circular economy principles and renewable energy sources. Laws and consumer preferences are pushing greenhouse farmers towards eco-friendly practices. Data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing greenhouse management by optimizing nutrient distribution, irrigation, and predicting disease and crop growth, leading to improved crop quality and efficient resource management.
