Yet this is the reality that farmers must confront in some parts of Kenya. Such conditions severely limit their ability to increase their yields and secure a stable income for themselves and their family. To make matters more difficult, they also face the problem of a very short rainy season. This alone makes sustaining adequate water levels challenging, but it&#8217;s compounded by reliance on wells for irrigation. <\/p>\n<p>In this video, you&#8217;ll see how Monica, an independent farmer in East Africa, has leveraged digital transformation to overcome these challenges. You&#8217;ll learn how IoT devices, solar energy, and Microsoft Azure can combine to sustain profitable farming operations, even in some of the harshest conditions on the planet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In some parts of the world, sustainable farming conditions are possible only through modern technology.
