A Review on Hydroponics and the Technologies Associated for Medium- and Small-Scale Operations

Roberto S. Velazquez-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: With the projected increase in global population and urbanization, meeting the growing demand for food becomes a major challenge. Hydroponics, as a soil-less agricultural method, offers a viable solution to address this problem. However, challenges remain in implementing hydroponics on a small scale in urban, suburban, and rural environments with limited technological resources. Emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 enable precision agriculture, which can enhance productivity and resource efficiency.
