Data Farms’ Crop Monitoring Unit Design & Development

Data Farms is a precision agriculture internet of things (IoT) company using sensors to monitor crops in real-time. We help farmers use resources more efficiently, saving fuel and fertilizer costs, and optimize indoor and greenhouse environments to improve crop yield. Custom alerts allow farmers to react fast when conditions change to avoid crop loss and crop failure. This project will enable Data Farms to design and produce outdoor crop monitoring units for a proof of concept project, partnering with farmers in NL with the plan to expand to other markets in Canada. Canada’s harsh environment increases the risk of crop loss and crop failure. Real-time environmental and soil monitoring allows farmers to react fast when conditions change, and improve resilience in the changing climate.
