Top 5 IoT ideas for a sustainable future
From managing energy in the home to improving efficiency in the agricultural industry, discover how IoT is being used around the world to contribute towards a sustainable future.
3D printed, smart, modular home is fully powered by solar
A Ukrainian startup has designed a fully autonomous house, requiring no plumbing or piping and generates its own electricity and power.
Analytics from soil sensors could revolutionise agriculture
Israeli startup hopes the data collated from soil-embedded sensors will strengthen and evolve the agriculture industry.
Compact IoT green wall cleans urban air
Using Internet of Things technology, a German company has devised a green space that is monitored electronically and removes pollution from the urban environment.
Internet of Things tackles global animal poaching
The Zoological Society of London is collaborating with a non-profit to develop a sensor and satellite network.
IoT based system allows drivers to find a parking space
Using IoT technology, a connected parking platform alerts drivers to available parking spaces in their area helping to decrease future emission levels in cities.
We have seen many innovative startups strive for a more sustainable future using connected technology as a solution. With world population expected to reach 8.6 billion in 2030, and climate change disrupting our agricultural production, it is more imperative than ever to implement sustainable farming practices. One example below uses Internet of Things technology to collect soil analytics to boost production efficiency and thus improve crop pricing. Similarly, a network of sensors has also enabled a non-for-profit to detect possible poaching activity reducing the risk of potential extinction in some animal species. Our selected innovations highlight new opportunities to challenge current practices across different sectors, as well as new ways to analyze and make use of data.
