Smart Farm Assistance
Cambodia
A Cambodian group called Agri-Economiser created Smart Farm Assistance, a water conservation app that can help reduce water consumption by 20% to 50%. The app is internet-based and also uses a short message service (SMS), making it incredibly convenient for farmers. A farmer can use the app to connect to and control a device set up in their field. Sensors are also set up to check soil conditions and the weather and control water systems. The device will send information to the farmer about the condition of their field, weather and crops, and if the farmer sees that their crops need water and no rain is coming, they can press a button and water systems will work automatically.
