Description
FarmooT is a platform that combines field sensors with a cloud-based app to support irrigation and crop management. It helps farmers monitor soil and weather conditions in real time, optimize water use, and receive tailored agronomic recommendations.
Technology
FarmooT integrates IoT multi-sensors (e.g. Stoock) that measure soil moisture, temperature, and local weather. Devices are solar-powered and transmit data via LPWAN networks such as NB-IoT or LoRaWAN to a cloud platform. Data are accessible through mobile and web applications, where analytics generate irrigation recommendations, alerts, and reports. The system also supports integration with third-party sensors and devices.
Target
FarmooT is designed for smallholders to large-scale farmers, particularly in water-scarce regions.
Business model
FarmooT combines hardware sales with subscription-based services for analytics and advisory. Farmers purchase IoT devices and pay annual or seasonal fees to access the FarmooT platform and advanced features.
Impact
FarmooT aims to support water savings, yield improvement, and better resource allocation. By providing continuous field data and irrigation recommendations, the platform could contribute to reduced water consumption and more sustainable crop production, particularly in water-stressed regions.
