“…However, in GH, the environmental control system is the same whether the plants are grown hydroponically or conventionally. The difference can be in the support system as well as the methodology of supplying water and nutrients, so the equipment for hydroponic or traditional is not much different [59].…”

In an era characterized by severe climate change, dwindling resources, and a growing world population, the agricultural industry is facing unprecedented challenges. On the other hand, overuse of natural resources has emerged as a major concern worldwide. Greenhouses (GHs) have been developed as central environments capable of growing a diverse range of high-quality agricultural products throughout the year, regardless of external weather conditions. However, conventional GHs often impose significant costs on energy resources for their heating and cooling operations, thus presenting sustainability challenges. To address these pressing concerns, using new smart technologies as well as the integration and development of renewable energy sources, including photovoltaics (PVs), wind turbines (WT), and geothermal systems, have gained momentum. This integration not only increases the ecological footprint of GHs but also reduces their dependence on conventional energy sources. Furthermore, the adoption of smart GH technologies, characterized by advanced control and automation systems, holds significant promise in energy optimization and efficiency. Hence, this systematic review attempts to carefully examine the optimal and practical methods that include the design, fabrication, control, energy management, and operation of smart GHs. This review includes an in-depth analysis of GH structures, building materials, cooling and heating systems, new dark GH concepts, and smart lighting systems. In addition, it addresses effective strategies to curb energy consumption in smart GHs. By synthesizing and synthesizing existing research and practical experiences, this paper seeks to provide valuable insights and recommendations to facilitate the efficient and sustainable design, construction, and operation of smart GHs. Ultimately, this work aims to promote resource-efficient and environmentally conscious practices in the agricultural sector.

“…Therefore, this activity was dominated by women (57%) compared to men (43%). The art of growing plants without soil is called hydroponics (Dwiratna et al, 2022a). Instead of soil, coconut fiber or wool cloth can also be used as a growing medium in a hydroponic system (Indrawati et al, 2012;Arini, 2019).…”

Hydroponic cultivation is considered effective and efficient in terms of time, place, and cost. Postharvest handling must also be carried out properly, such as processing vegetables and fruit in hydroponic cultivation. Therefore, hydroponic plant cultivation training activities and the processing of their products play an essential role in urban communities, especially Lebakgede Area, Bandung City. In general, this service consisted of four main stages, including preparation and planning, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up. The investigation revealed that the majority of participants were housewives (43%), followed by community institutions (29%), others (14%), and entrepreneurs and civil servants (7%). In addition, 76% of participants were extremely satisfied, understanding, and interested in practicing hydroponic cultivation and processing its products. Based on the follow-up analysis, the participants have prepared a hydroponic house that will be managed together to support the supply of food ingredients in the Lebakgede Area Bandung City. This successful community service positively impacts the community by supplying high-quality vegetables. Therefore, this service activity can result in the formation of a sustainable hydroponic ecosystem and an increase in hydroponic expertise for future generations in Lebakgede Area, Bandung City.

Agricultural land has been converted into settlements following the population growth in various parts of the country. The productivity of horticulture, particularly pagoda mustard (Brassica narinosa L), decreases with the narrowing of fields. The main milestone as a promising solution to overcoming this issue is applying the hydroponic technique. This study aims to analyze the potential of hydroponic kit-based growing on a self-fertigation system for pagoda mustard production. In contrast to general hydroponic, the proposed hydroponic kit is supported by a smart valve component as a unique novelty used for the automatic distribution of nutrients without electrical power (zero energy). The mustard seeds were sown on rockwool for two to three days in a dark room and placed in the sun for seventeen days. A total of 50 pagoda mustard seeds were arranged evenly on a self-fertigation system tray following a zig-zag planting pattern for forty days. The seed has the following morphological characteristics: average height of 22.88 cm, biomass width of 26.42 cm, root length of 23.4 cm, and weight of 241.5 g. Furthermore, the production requires a total fertigation consumption of 186 L (equal to 0.0935 L/plant day−1) with an actual crop coefficient between 0.01 and 0.54. The proposed system shows good performance for mustard growth with a uniformity value between 80 and 89%. Finally, hydroponic kit-based growing on a self-fertigation system can be applied in various areas to produce and maintain a sustainable food supply.
