1. A system for cultivating plants or crops, comprising:
a grow field configured to support plant or crop cultivation, the grow field comprising a first end, a second end, a bottom surface and a boundary wall,
a first reservoir proximate to the first end of the grow field, wherein the first reservoir is configured to produce a waste nutrient stream;
a second reservoir proximate to the second end of the grow field, wherein the second reservoir is configured to act as a settling tank for the produced waste nutrient stream;
an Artificial Intelligence (AI) unit in connection with the grow field, first reservoir and the second reservoir for providing a feedback for improving a growth rate of the cultivated plants or crops;
a controller in communication with the AI unit for receiving and processing output signals from at least one sensor and sending an assessment of a plurality of monitored parameters to the AI unit, based on the processed output signals; and
a first pump positioned in the first reservoir;
a first conduit in fluid connectivity with the first pump and the second reservoir;
a second pump positioned in the second reservoir;
a third pump positioned in the second reservoir;
a second conduit in fluid connectivity with the second pump and a bio filtration system;
a third conduit in fluid connectivity with the bio filtration system and the first reservoir; and,
a fourth conduit in fluid connectivity with the third pump and the grow field.
