Chunghwa Telecom and National Taiwan University join hands with industry, government and academia in smart agriculture (In Chinese)

December 05, 2023 | ET Today, Taiwan  |  

Taiwanese telecommunications giant, Chunghwa Telecom, is spearheading agricultural innovation by investing in smart farming technologies. As global shifts toward industrialization and urbanization result in a dwindling agricultural workforce, scholars are turning to AI and digital analytics to address labor shortages and boost agricultural productivity.

Chunghwa Telecom's commitment to smart agriculture involves enhancing agricultural network environments and implementing IoT solutions. Through field sensors and NB-IoT mobile applications, an integrated solution allows farmers to monitor crop growth, soil conditions, CO2 levels, and climate changes in real-time via a cloud-based platform. Collaborating with Taipei University, the company aims to develop systems that alleviate the labor burden on farmers by transforming their experiences into decision-making systems.

Critical to these smart systems' operation is the Intelligent Biosensing Platform (IBP), synchronizing data related to crop growth and images, facilitating convenient monitoring, and recording of field conditions. Chunghwa Telecom's efforts also include contributing to the standardization of agricultural IoT data formats, promoting cross-platform data exchange for greater research outcomes. The collaboration between telecom experts and agricultural scholars aims to bridge industry gaps and unlock the full potential of smart agriculture, envisioning a sustainable and prosperous future for Taiwanese agriculture.
