Irrigate your farm at the touch of a button

Imagine irrigating and monitoring activities in your farm remotely from any part of the world using your phone. Well think no further. This has been made possible thanks to a simple application —Smart Farm — that can monitor farming activities without the farmer being there physically. The firm behind the app — Ukulima Tech — an agriculture startup came up with the idea in 2014 after realising there is a need.

“We realised many farmers are busy people and they employ farmhands to monitor their projects. But sometimes these helpers fail in their duties. You find water running aimlessly in the farm in the name of irrigation. With this app a farmer addresses such problems,” says Hansel Wangara, the co-founder of Ukulima Farm and the idea.
