Abstract
It is expected that in the 21st century the key problems will be closely related to resources, ensuring food, water and energy. Freshwater resources available on Earth are not properly used, which results in local lowering groundwater level. Climate changes – the effect of natural changes on Earth, but also those caused by human activities, can reduce availability of food and water, increase its transport and storage costs. The project described here is a solution providing organic food using as small resources as possible. The main goals is to create and test the effectiveness of managing system and compare it to standard home gardens. It is also worth to mention that many people in society don’t have knowledge how to cultivate horticultural crops, so the system should work with as minimal human help as possible. All systems based on electronic modules need a power supply, so possibilities for supplying on off grid areas will also be considered. In addition to ensuring healthy food while using resources sparingly, the use of the system will also significantly reduce the carbon footprint caused by food storage and transport.
