A agricultura no Paquistão enfrenta desafios críticos, como a escassez de água, a utilização ineficiente dos recursos e os impactos das alterações climáticas, particularmente nas áreas urbanas e periurbanas. Este estudo apresenta um sistema de agricultura vertical inteligente, alimentado a energia solar, concebido para lidar com estas questões, integrando sensores capacitivos de humidade do solo, sensores de temperatura e humidade (DHT22) e sensores de luz (BH1750), controlados através do Raspberry Pi 4. O sistema off-grid, alimentado por um painel solar de 100 watts e bateria, possui uma irrigação inteligente acionada por um algoritmo Random Forest para otimizar a utilização da água. Ao longo de um teste de seis semanas de cultivo de tomate-cereja, o sistema obteve um aumento de 60–65% na produtividade, 40% de poupança de energia e uma redução de 28,57% no consumo de água em comparação com os métodos tradicionais. Embora promissor, as limitações incluem o pequeno tamanho do teste e a falta de dados de impacto ambiental a longo prazo. Os desafios de escalabilidade, como o custo, a manutenção e as restrições locais, devem ser abordados para uma adoção mais ampla. O trabalho futuro irá focar-se na expansão das variedades de culturas, na melhoria da integração da IA e na melhoria da acessibilidade para os pequenos agricultores para apoiar a agricultura urbana sustentável e a segurança alimentar no Paquistão.
