Automated Mushroom Farming: An Energy-Efficient Digital Cultivation System

Mushroom cultivation traces back to a deep history that scientists now associate with food security improvements and general human health enhancement. Traditional mushroom cultivation has limited expansion possibilities since production procedures require substantial labor resources while extending the cultivation period and demanding high resource inputs. This limits the development potential for small-scale producers. This research introduces an energy-efficient digital solution that aims to revolutionize mushroom agriculture operations. A system developed by our team links an automated controller unit with high-end environmental detection devices and actuating elements that control cultivation factors at precise levels for temperature regulation and humidity balance as well as carbon dioxide management. The research thoroughly assesses the digital system to optimize mushroom growth and enhance output consistency with reduced resource requirements. Our automated cultivation system produces superior operational outcomes according to experimental results, which provide robust proof of time reduction by 11% combined with labor cost reduction at 85% when compared to traditional approaches. Through its exact environmental control abilities the system enables year-round production of high-quality and consistent mushrooms. This research illustrates digital agriculture’s ability to transform mushroom farming and develop innovative food systems that enhance both food security and economic returns for producers.
