ABSTRACT
Smart greenhouse technologies have revolutionized modern agriculture by integrating Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), automated climate control systems, and precision cultivation methods to enable year-round crop production. These advanced systems utilize real-time environmental monitoring, predictive analytics, and automated actuators to optimize temperature, humidity, light, CO2 levels, and nutrient delivery. The global smart greenhouse market, valued at USD 2.31 billion in 2026, is projected to reach USD 16.50 billion by 2040, driven by advancements in IoT-AI integration, energy-efficient technologies, and soilless cultivation systems including hydroponics, aeroponics, and vertical farming. This review examines the core technological components, automation strategies, sustainability considerations, and future prospects of smart greenhouse systems in ensuring food security and agricultural resilience.
Keywords: Smart greenhouse, Internet of Things, precision agriculture, climate control, year-round production.
