Abstract
Accordingly, the inventor has conceived and reduced to practice, a system and method of farming using a computer controlled micro-environment suitable for soil-based and soilless growing media that is sustainable and totally automated from seed to harvest. The system utilizes software, sensor networks, and computing hardware that monitors and alters the environment in the growing units and provides nutrients, water, lighting, air flow, and temperature control specific to the crop being cultivated in one or a combination of vertical assemblies of growing units with electronically controlled features. Each unit is enabled to independently seed, cultivate, and produce a mature crop and discharge the contents for further processing for the intended market.
