Welcome to the first episode of our #IoTtoWild blog series. The series aims to shed some light on the possibility of embracing technologies for achieving SDGs. We hope this new #IoTtoWild blog series can serve as a dynamic platform for dialogues, spotlighting innovative projects and approaches, and showing the profound impact of technological applications for a sustainable tomorrow.
Spearheaded by Tanzania Open Innovation Organization (TOIO), local university students and citizens in Tanga co-created “BSF Farming – Creating Protein Content” project – a resource-efficient and low-cost protein production method by monitoring and optimizing BSFs’ living environment. This has been done by deploying Seeed’s SenseCAP LoRaWAN sensors, SenseCAP Outdoor Gateway, SenseCAP Portal, and SenseCAP Mate App.
On March 15th, Seeed Studio was awarded “WSIS Prize 2023 Champion” prize certificate at the UN ITU, in Geneva, Switzerland.
