Greenhouse farming is essential in increasing domestic crop production in countries with limited resources and a harsh climate like Qatar. Smart greenhouse development is even more important to overcome these limitations and achieve high levels of food security. While the main aim of greenhouses is to offer an appropriate environment for high-yield production while protecting crops from adverse climate conditions, smart greenhouses provide precise regulation and control of the microclimate variables by utilizing the latest control techniques, advanced metering and communication infrastructures, and smart management systems thus providing the optimal environment for crop development. However, due to the development of information technology, greenhouses are undergoing a big transformation. In fact, the new generation of greenhouses has gone from simple constructions to sophisticated factories that drive agricultural production at the minimum possible cost. The main objective of this paper is to present a comprehensive understanding framework of the actual greenhouse development in Qatar, so as to be able to support the transition to sustainable precision agriculture. Qatar’s greenhouse market is a dynamic sector, and it is expected to mark double-digit growth by 2025. Thus, this study may offer effective supporting information to decision and policy makers, professionals, and end-users in introducing new technologies and taking advantage of monitoring techniques, artificial intelligence, and communication infrastructure in the agriculture sector by adopting smart greenhouses, consequently enhancing the Food-Energy-Water Nexus resilience and sustainable development. Furthermore, an analysis of the actual agriculture situation in Qatar is provided by examining its potential development regarding the existing drivers and barriers. Finally, the study presents the policy measures already implemented in Qatar and analyses the future development of the local greenhouse sector in terms of sustainability and resource-saving perspective and its penetration into Qatar’s economy.

“…The proposed wireless connection depends on the availability of the microcontroller or processor board interface, the required power requirement, the required connection bandwidth, the communication distance, and the common obstacles in the communication [53]. The connection protocols vary from Bluetooth and WiFi to GSM, radio (NRF) or ZigBee [6,54].…”

Multidisciplinary approaches in science are still rare, especially in completely different fields such as agronomy science and computer science. We aim to create a state-of-the-art floating ebb and flow system greenhouse that can be used in future scientific experiments. The objective is to create a self-sufficient greenhouse with sensors, cloud connectivity, and artificial intelligence for real-time data processing and decision making. We investigated various approaches and proposed an optimal solution that can be used in much future research on plant growth in floating ebb and flow systems. A novel microclimate pocket-detection solution is proposed using an automatically guided suspended platform sensor system. Furthermore, we propose a methodology for replacing sensor data knowledge with artificial intelligence for plant health estimation. Plant health estimation allows longer ebb periods and increases the nutrient level in the final product. With intelligent design and the use of artificial intelligence algorithms, we will reduce the cost of plant research and increase the usability and reliability of research data. Thus, our newly developed greenhouse would be more suitable for plant growth research and production.

“…Having analyzed the existing studies on the development of illumination monitoring systems, we can state that integrated sensors based on photodiodes and photoresistors are most widely used (Boselin Prabhu et al, 2014;Arif and Abbas, 2015;Zhou and Duan, 2016;Li, 2017;Laktionov et al, 2018). In this paper, typical sensors based on a photodiode (GY-302 BH1750FVI) and a photoresistor (KY-018) have been selected for the research according to the following criteria: satisfactory technical characteristics specified by manufacturers; compatibility with the microprocessor platform Arduino Mega 2560, which is widely used in designing the monitoring systems for agricultural facility parameters (Putera et al, 2015;Maulana et al, 2018;Suganthi Jemila and Suja Priyadharsini, 2018); affordable price range.…”

Industrial greenhouses are complex technological facilities where control and managing of the cultivation regimes affecting the efficiency of evapotranspiration and photosynthesis should be provided. The paper solves the relevant scientific and applied problem of evaluating and analyzing the metrological and functional characteristics of effective illumination sensors. The subject of the research is the metrological characteristics of means of metrical monitoring of effective illumination in the visible optical range for protected horticulture. The object of the study is the processes and factors which affect the metrological characteristics of the serial low-cost sensors of effective illumination in the visible optical range. The findings presented in this paper focus on solving the relevant scientific and applied problem of limited results of experiments on serial low-cost sensors of effective illumination in the visible optical range and their subsequent mathematical analysis to evaluate metrological characteristics. Promising areas of the research on the metrological provision of modern computerized systems for monitoring and controlling the effective illumination of industrial greenhouses are justified. The research results can be integrated into modern methods and means of computerized metrical monitoring and automatic control of technological regimes of greenhouse cultivation.
