Turning experience and intuition into Data: Seeing the Future with a Soil Sensor

"Why are the plants wilting even though I keep watering them?" The answer was hidden beneath the soil. Listen to what the soil is telling you! Koharu, a high school student who dreams of becoming a farmer, has never understood what her grandfather meant by those words. Then one day, a soil sensor installed by her father —and the sudden appearance of Mirai, a mysterious spirit of soil— help her see the previously invisible "voice of the soil" through data. The soil sensor reveals what is happening beneath the surface. "Is water reaching the roots?" "Is the fertilizer concentration around the roots too high?" "Are the soil conditions putting stress on the plants?" Experience and intuition, enhanced by data. This story explores the possibilities of a new kind of agriculture that brings both together. Don’t miss it!
