Sensing Technologies for Outdoor/Indoor Farming. [PDF]
Biosensors (Basel)To face the increasing requirement for grains as the global population continues to grow, improving both crop yield and quality has become essential. Plant health directly impacts crop quality and yield, making the development of plant health-monitoring technologies essential.

A recommendation for suitable technologies for an indoor farming framework [PDF]
Elektrotechnik Und Informationstechnik, 2020 AbstractFacing food insecurity and overuse of resources due to effects of climate change, humanity needs to find new ways to secure food production and produce close to consumers. Vertical farming, where plants are grown in vertical arrays inside buildings with help of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) components, could contribute to ...

Getting to the roots of aeroponic indoor farming
New Phytologist, 2020 Summary Vertical farming is a type of indoor agriculture where plants are cultivated in stacked systems. It forms a rapidly growing sector with new emerging technologies. Indoor farms often use soil‐free techniques such as hydroponics and aeroponics. Aeroponics involves the application to roots of a nutrient aerosol, which can lead to

A smart aeroponic system for sustainable indoor farming
Procedia CIRP, 2023 Population growth requires a significant increase in agricultural production to ensure food security. However, the further increase in such production is limited by the environmental crises and by the negative impacts of open-field agricultural practices. Vertical farming techniques, such as aeroponics, can be exploited to optimize the use of resources.

A Learned Simulation Environment to Model Plant Growth in Indoor Farming
CoRR, 2022 We developed a simulator to quantify the effect of changes in environmental parameters on plant growth in precision farming. Our approach combines the processing of plant images with deep convolutional neural networks (CNN), growth curve modeling, and machine learning.

Life cycle assessment of indoor vertical farms
, 2023 Indoor vertical farms (IVF) have expanded rapidly in recent years as an approach to secure resilient food provisioning in urban areas. Sustainability is often promoted by IVFs, focusing primarily on farm-level metrics and information about work with packaging.

Optimal Control for Indoor Vertical Farms Based on Crop Growth
IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2023 Vertical farming allows for year-round cultivation of a variety of crops, overcoming environmental limitations and ensuring food security. This closed and highly controlled system allows the plants to grow in optimal conditions, so that they reach maturity faster and yield more than on a conventional outdoor farm.

Comparison of Indoor and Outdoor Bioaerosols in Poultry Farming [PDF]
, 2011 Intensive poultry production, implying large densities of animals in small areas, is a significant source of air pollution which may constitute a considerable health hazard to the birds, farmers and those living in the proximity of the farm (Lonc & Plewa, 2009). On the other hand, the spread of bioaerosols on the outside of animal housing may result in

On Textile Farming : Living Indoors
, 2019 Horticultural practices are increasingly entering the private realm due to the popularity of urban gardening, indoor gardening systems, and architectural propositions to join living spaces for people and vegetable cultivation in order to promote more resilient and sustainable ways of living.

Dairy farming: indoorv.pasture-based feeding [PDF]
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 2014 SUMMARYThe current situation of volatile milk prices and rising costs of, e.g. grain and labour, suggests that it is worth studying productivity and efficiency in dairy farming. The objective of the current whole-system study, carried out in lowland Central Switzerland from 2007 to 2010, was to compare the performance, efficiency, land productivity and
