Open source agritech for sustainable growth
Over-salination of soil threatens crop yields in many countries. However, traditional farming methods exacerbate issues with over-fertilisation, and there is lack of standardised data for comprehensive studies on this problem. Moreover, the vast majority of farmers face challenges in monitoring environmental conditions and health of their crops.
In this project, we designed an open source IoT farming system to automate processes, provide real-time data, and optimise resource usage for precision farming. By utilising and analysing crop data, the system optimises parameters to enhance crop growth.
