Proposal

In recent times, climate changes are happening as a result of increasing global temperatures and this has brought about a major change in agricultural patterns. As a result, it has become a big challenge for vegetable crops and fruits to grow properly. The worldwide harvest of most crops has seen a drop, leading to the emergence of the global food crisis. As a result, it is necessary to find a solution to this impending crisis. With the use of automation, we can overcome this challenge and deal with the global food crisis as efficiently as possible. The present literature review attempts to analyze the need for automation required for greenhouses that could be highly beneficial for farmers, gardeners, and researchers in a future scenario of global warming.
