Fiber-optic sensors have been employed to analyze the effects of agricultural practices on soil structure, revealing significant degradation.
Common methods such as deep plowing and the use of heavy machinery are identified as primary contributors to the disruption of soil's natural architecture.
The insights gained from this technology highlight the urgent need for sustainable farming practices to preserve soil health and functionality.
