Internet of Things (IOT) & energy harvesting for urban farming

Food security has been a concern all over the world. Singapore, despite being titled the most food secure country in the world, faces concerns too when it comes to this topic as it imports 90% of its food supply, producing only 10% locally. In order to combat possible problems of being cut off in th...
