site visit to a prawn farm to explore how IoT could be implemented here
Swinburne Sarawak, University of Manchester and Universiti Putra Malaysia led a four-day workshop on smart future farming here in Kuching. It explored the potential of implementing sensor technology into the farming sector.
The sensor could for instance, tell you when the fruit is ripe or when fertilizers are needed and how much, if there is a disease outbreak and so on.
The workshop was attended by 40 participants involved in agriculture from universities to relevant agencies. It was supported by Newton Fund Researcher Links Workshop Grants under the British Council.
