Soil Moisture Sensor for Smart Cities

Abstract

The project focuses on the development and use of soil moisture sensors for application in vertical farms within smart cities. These sensors allow precise monitoring of soil moisture, aiding in the efficient management of water use and maintaining plant health.

In an urban scenario, where space is limited and natural resources must be used rationally, the soil moisture sensor becomes an essential tool. It enables real-time monitoring of soil conditions, preventing waste and promoting more sustainable agricultural practices.

Additionally, the project highlights the importance of urban agriculture as an alternative to reduce dependence on food from rural areas, contributing to more resilient, green, and self-sustainable cities. By integrating technology into urban cultivation, the initiative seeks to encourage innovation, environmental preservation, and the conscious use of natural resources.
