Abstract
One of the biggest challenges to face in the 21st century is the exponential increase in the world population that brings numerous problems, such as overexploitation and the consequent depletion of global natural resources. In this context, water resources are subjected to unprecedented pressure as the water demand grows significantly, but its availability tends to decrease increasingly. One of the most impactful sectors is certainly agriculture, as it has almost all the available water resources and ranks as one of the leading global water consumers. With the goal of better managing these resources, Smart Agriculture was born, aiming to improve agricultural yield, increase productivity, and optimize the potential of arable land with the introduction of advanced technologies that allow the monitoring of plants in real-time in order to know their specific needs and avoid waste and excessive consumption.
The first water management methods were based on using humidity sensors to indirectly examine the water status of the plant, starting with an analysis of the soil composition
