The modern world is facing critical issues such as water, energy, health, wasteland and climate change, and most importantly, food for all. In arid lands, the challenges are in securing local sources of food and water. The aim of this paper is to contribute to mitigating these problems by demonstrating a system that integrates food production using aquaponics with desalination to produce drinking water, renewable energy to generate electricity and power the system, recycling food waste as a raw material and fertilizers, tiered flowerbeds to reduce land use and automation to ensure an adaptive and sustainable process and contribute to the health of the community by promoting the production of high quality locally produced organic products. In this proposed solution, the system has sensors to monitor the temperature, humidity, and water levels in the different components of the aquaponics system. It has pumps, solenoid valves, and servomotors as actuators. The renewable energy system is an off-grid solar PV system with battery that powers a microcontroller and data logger with connections to the sensors and actuators.
