Similarly, many areas suffer or have suffered irrigation restrictions due to drought, impacting crops. These two variables, physical space and water scarcity, were the main reasons for the HydroMixt project. Designed through an interdisciplinary approach, a system has been created that combines two types of irrigation (drip irrigation in solid substrate and hydroponics) with potential savings in space, water consumption, and energy (it can be powered by a battery and solar panel). All of this is regulated by sensors and a dedicated app. Given the need for a viable product, the aim is for it to adhere to the circular economy model, be autonomous…
