Digital Transformation in Agriculture

Hydroponic Farming

Hidroponic farming technologies are referred to globally as Agriculture IOT, marking the digital transformation of agriculture. Hidroponics, by definition, involves growing plants without soil, using a nutrient solution.

Hidroponic farming is a method where plants are grown under controlled greenhouse conditions, receiving the organic or inorganic nutrients they need via a nutrient solution. Plants utilize a nutrient solution containing minerals essential for their growth instead of relying on nutrients present in soil. Therefore, rather than searching for minerals throughout soil, plants can easily and directly obtain nutrients from the nutrient solution. Soilless farming requires a computer-controlled system. It’s an investment that integrates technology with agriculture. Heating, humidity, vapor levels, and CO2 production in greenhouses are all computer-controlled. This ensures that plants grown through hydroponic methods receive optimal levels of nutrients and moisture, enabling them to grow faster and healthier.

Soilless farming, which has captured the interest of entrepreneurs from every sector around the world, is poised to become one of the most profitable businesses of the future, offering up to ten times more productivity than traditional soil-based methods.
