Micro-irrigation and sensors in agriculture
The use of micro-irrigation systems along with soil moisture sensors, soil temperature sensors and nutrient sensors allows farmers to precisely precisely match irrigation and fertilization to the needs of their crops. This offers several advantages:
Overall, this precise green, gentle technology helps improve the sustainability of agriculture, increase yields and preserve biodiversity.
Stopping the climate change
Precise irrigation and fertilization contribute to the increase of species diversity (biodiversity) in the soil and also above the ground. As a result, the upper layer of the soil, the humus layer, can store more climate-damaging carbon dioxide (CO2), thereby making a significant contribution to stopping climate change. Because the humus layer can store 4x more CO2 than all trees and 2x as much as the atmosphere.
The higher crop yields create a solid income for smallholder farmers so that they can do their work with dignity, for all of us. Because they play a key role in stopping climate change.
