GREENWISE

Cultivating Knowledge and Sustainability through Microgreens Farming

Project Overview

GREENWISE is an innovative project designed to provide tools and resources to grow microgreens or other plants in a controlled environment.

Through this project, users are able to view real-time sensor data, including temperature and soil moisture, ensuring optimal growth conditions. The data is collected using Raspberry Pi combined with the Automation-HAT Mini and various sensors.

This project is EU-funded and aims to empower individuals and small businesses in their journey towards efficient and sustainable plant growth.
