Final Year Project
Project Title
IoT Farming (Smart farming using Internet of Things)
Description
Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) with farming provides the solution needed to save water and to produce greater yields. Io-Farming develops a network architecture with the latest LoRaWAN technology to aid commercial/private farms. It consists of fully autonomous and cost effective sensor nodes that are the nervous system of a farm, which can be used to gather necessary parameters and turn on sprinklers when needed.
