Abstract

Nowadays there are serious global problems, among them, the bad air quality in urban zones stands out, and also the lack of healthy food to guarantee quality feeding.According with some information of the United Nations Organization for agriculture and feeding, the global population is expected to increase to reach 8300 millions, and for that reason objectives for the sustainable development were fixed in the 2030 Agenda.In Mexico, the 2013-2018 Development Plan in the goal National IV Mexico Prospero is looking to guarantee the security in feeding, that is why an opportunity area has been identified in which we can set innovations and new technology.The main objective of this project was to develop an Autonomous Urban Garden, which allows to plant and care for different daily consumption foods on the roofs or roofs of houses or buildings through the Arduino platform and various sensors (soil moisture, rain, humidity and temperature), they can convert a large part of the carbon dioxide into oxygen, they will provide food to a family, ensuring that they are consumable since they themselves would be in charge of planting and harvesting.
