Kenyan farmers are now enjoying a reduced cost of farming thanks to new remote-controlled greenhouses.

Developed by Illuminum Greenhouses, the new farming technology allows farmers to monitor temperatures, soil moisture, humidity, and water supply in their greenhouses using remote-controlled sensors.

These sensors then transmit the data to farmers’ mobile phones, allowing them to monitor their greenhouses remotely through their cellphones.
