Project Final Report: CRRP2021-07MY-Dorji

Agriculture is one of the most crucial activities that sustains human life. With an increasing global population, rapid climate change, and dwindling resources, the farming industry has come under significant pressure. Nevertheless, the rapid development of modern technologies in the agriculture sector offers substantial potential for boosting production efficiency year-round. The project, titled “Development of a Smart Greenhouse (SGH) for Temperate and Alpine Regions to Enhance Agricultural Farming for Future Food Sustainability,” provides a controlled environment for experimenting with crops. Typically, agricultural land in the temperate regions of Bhutan remains fallow due to harsh weather conditions. During the winter, the recorded temperature drops to -4.84°C, making it impossible for crops to survive. The technique employed in developing the smart greenhouse supports the crops inside by maintaining the necessary temperature and humidity levels.
