Since the development of agriculture is an important problem for every state, huge funds are allocated to this industry. However, the problem of lack of fresh fruits/vegetables, that is, the problem of import substitution remains a pressing issue in many countries. The aim of the study was to inspect the growth of plants in a home-based mini-greenhouse, for which reason the following tasks were set: conduct a biological experiment; search for dependence of the influence of environmental conditions (microclimate) on growth. The paper highlights the problem of import substitution of vegetables in Kazakhstan, and suggests the best way to solve this issue. The proposed solution offers the development of mini-greenhouse that meets the criteria of price and quality. The developed system differs from other smart greenhouses, firstly, by its availability to a wide range of users (price criterion), and secondly, by ensuring agrotechnical, energy, and design requirements (quality criterion). These requirements are implemented through the use of promising technologies: phytomonitoring, intelligent technologies and open source software, the use of available construction materials and water saving technologies such as drip irrigation. The economic effect from the use of the proposed technology has amounted to 10,000 tenge, the payback period was 4 seasons.
