The paper identifies the challenge of spatial and temporal variability of soil nutrients in open-field environments. It highlights the need for precise monitoring and control of nutrient solutions in hydroponic solution cultivation. The paper also identifies the challenge of minimizing environmental risks such as runoff and eutrophication in open-field soil cultivation.
