Abstract
Urban agriculture is an important resource to make cities sustainable, put food within reach of urban inhabitants and let them achieve food security and food sovereignty. There are many variables involved in agriculture to ensure proper growing of crops, and some of them that have traditionally been left to chance from weather conditions. Despite some disadvantages, cultivate in cities implies to make it easier to use automation as a powerful tool to ensure successful farming despite weather. In UPB we are currently developing a urban farming irrigation control lab that is described here.
