Hydroponics is a growing technique that uses aqueous media (nutrient solution) to support plant growth. This technology offers viable solutions to today's global challenges. In the context of the decreasing and degrading of available agricultural land, hydroponic systems can contribute to food security. The main objective of this study is to analyze the current hydroponic techniques and nutrient solution management. Additionally, the study explores the groundbreaking advancements in hydroponic cultivation, emphasizing the integration of sensor-based monitoring systems and automated control technologies, which collectively enhance resource efficiency and optimize plant growth conditions while enabling precise, data-driven agricultural practices. The conclusions of the study emphasize that hydroponic agriculture is an alternative with high potential for increasing crop yields and optimizing the use of limited resources.
