Resumo(s)

The increasing demand for agricultural crops and the necessity to reduce environmental impacts from traditional agriculture have led to the emergence of sustainable production systems such as hydroponics and aquaponics. These soil and pesticide-free systems require less water and fertilizers but need electrical energy and controlled greenhouse environmental conditions to be highly productive. This work presents a monitoring and management system for environmental parameters inside an aquaponic greenhouse, that allows the manager to assess in real-time the working status of the aquaponic system, helping in the detection of critical conditions that require a quick decision. This system was developed to measure, through IoT sensors network, the temperature and the relative humidity of the air, the temperature, pH and the electrical conductivity of the water that contains the dissolved nutrients that feed the growth of the plants. It is possible to visualize the measured parameters via the Internet, on a dashboard, in a mobile application and store these variables in a database. To further increase the sustainability of the aquaponic greenhouse, the electricity consumed during its activity will be produced locally by photovoltaic technology. The technologies proposed in this work may promote the emergence of small models of greenhouses, implemented by communities and populations, reducing production energy costs and transportation resources.
