An opensource modular and scaleable agricultural environment monitor and controller for any crop, any where in the world, using any cultivation method such as:

• hydroponics
• traditional
• aquaponics
• aeroponics
• greenhouse
• closed environment

Project aims:

• To be approachable for people new to art and science of devops and/or plant production by providing educational resources.
• Able to be replicated using easily accessible parts.
• Level of complexity to be determined by each maker.
• Provide a part of the technical solution to the politically exasperated problem of food scarcity.
