A groundbreaking agricultural innovation is quietly taking shape at the leafy campus of Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), where mushrooms are being grown, not in traditional mud huts, but inside a high-tech 40-foot container.
Using a blend of smart farming technologies, including environmental sensors, CCTV cameras, and smartphone-linked applications, the project is redefining mushroom cultivation.
Farmers can now monitor and manage growth conditions remotely, receiving real-time notifications to ensure optimal productivity.
The project is a collaboration between JKUAT, JKUAT's innovation hub (J-Hub), South Korean company Mush&Co., and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
