Agriculture is by far the largest consumer of freshwater today, using up to 70 percent of the available supply. Additionally, the world’s population is predicted to increase 30 percent by 2050 and food production will need to increase up to 70 percent as a result. Farmers and ranchers are preparing for the future and tackling tomorrow’s challenges head-on by integrating advanced smart agriculture solutions leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
QOTO’s LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN® protocol represent a leading choice for LPWAN-based IoT and have been integrated into proven solutions for a number of important vertical markets, including smart agriculture. From measuring the environmental conditions influencing crop production to tracking livestock health indicators, LoRa-based applications create efficiencies reducing environmental impact, maximizing yield and minimizing expenses.
