Open Campus to the Citizenry: Open House Day at Racó de lHorta

The Sagunto City Council organizes an open house event at its Racó de l'Horta headquarters, a space dedicated to agriculture and sustainability. Under the name Campus Obert a la Ciutadania, the activity aims to bring residents closer to the facilities and projects developed there. There will be guided tours, workshops, and demonstrations for all audiences.

Technology applied to local agriculture 🌱

During the event, automated irrigation systems and humidity sensors that monitor crops in real time will be showcased. Racó de l'Horta uses open-source technology to manage agronomic data, allowing water supply to be adjusted according to each plant's needs. Solar panels that power the pumping equipment, reducing energy consumption, will also be on display. Attendees will be able to see how these systems are integrated into a municipal farm without relying on large infrastructure.

See how lettuce grows without anyone watering it 🥬

If you've always wanted to feel like a mad scientist observing plants, this is your chance. You'll see sensors that talk to pipes and panels that look at the sun, all so that some lettuce can grow happily without you having to get your hands dirty. The best part is, if the system fails, you can always pour a bucket of water on them like your grandmother used to do. Technology is nice, but the bucket never fails.
