Growing the Future of Agriculture
Growing the Future of Agriculture
Welcome to our Smart Farm in El Hamdania, Cherchel (Tipaza), a living example of how clean energy and smart technology can transform farming in Algeria and across the Mediterranean.
The Smart Pilot Farm is an integrated experimental platform that combines renewable energy, intelligent irrigation, and digital monitoring to optimize agricultural productivity. Powered entirely by solar energy through a smart microgrid, the system supports both open-field and greenhouse cultivation. It includes real-time control of energy flows, water management, and based storage for energy autonomy. Designed as a scalable model, the Smart Pilot Farm demonstrates sustainable farming practices, reduced carbon emissions, and improved resource efficiency in diffrents regions.

Water Management
Outdoor Agriculture with inteligent irrigation from 300 m³ geomembrane water basin to water storage.
Developed Dashboards
A smart farm dashboards was developed to supervise and control the integrated energy–water–irrigation system. The platform aggregates real-time data from PV generation, hydrogen production, battery storage, and irrigation modules. It enables dynamic monitoring of energy balance, water flow, and soil moisture through IoT-based sensors and predictive algorithms. The system supports adaptive control strategies to optimize irrigation scheduling and power utilization, enhancing overall efficiency and ensuring sustainable resource management under varying climatic conditions.

The MG-FARM initiative operates through close collaboration with stakeholders, students, and partner institutions. This participatory approach strengthens innovation and capacity building by engaging researchers, engineers, and agricultural practitioners in the design, monitoring, and optimization of the pilot systems. The farm also serves as a living laboratory, providing training opportunities and fostering cooperation between academia and the agricultural sector to accelerate the adoption of sustainable technologies.
