AMBIENT-6G

In modern agriculture, the integration of digital technologies has transformed traditional farming practices into data-driven, precision operations. However, maintaining vast sensor networks
across open fields, expansive greenhouses, and remote rural environments poses significant energy and maintenance challenges. This is where energy-neutral devices (ENDs) present a transformative opportunity. In smart agriculture, ENDs can be deployed ubiquitously, above or under ground, to monitor
critical environmental parameters like air temperature and humidity, carbon dioxide levels, light exposure, and soil conditions (e.g., temperature, pH, and moisture content), which are essential for optimal crop growth and resource usage. They can also be used to control facilities, e.g., temperature and irrigation control systems. The lightweight, maintenance-free, and ultra-low
power (e.g., 1 mW) ENDs will be ideally suited for use in extensive, hard-to-reach agricultural plots where battery replacement is impractical or cost-prohibitive.
