The Concept of SMART Farming
Long before dashboards and satellites, farmers read the land. They watched ants, clouds, soil colour, bird movement, and the weight of seed in the hand. They practiced delayed irrigation, crop rotation, fallowing, and mixed farming not because of data models, but because survival demanded it. Smart farming does not replace this intelligence. It formalises it. […]
Case Study #2: Annual Monitoring and Evaluation of Micro-scale UgiFT Irrigation Systems
Micro-scale irrigation systems have been widely promoted to improve household food security and incomes. However, once installed, many systems are rarely assessed to determine whether they are functioning as intended, being properly used, or delivering meaningful impact. Without structured monitoring and evaluation, lessons are lost and the same mistakes are repeated across regions.
