• Providing tools for carbon footprint reduction

By embracing these sustainable practices, farmers can ensure the long-term health of their land while meeting the growing demand for eco-friendly food production.

The Farmonaut Advantage: Satellite vs. Drone and IoT Monitoring

While there are various farm monitoring technologies available, our satellite-based system offers distinct advantages. Here’s how Farmonaut’s Satellite System compares to drone and IoT-based monitoring:

Feature	Farmonaut Satellite System	Drone Monitoring	IoT-based Monitoring
Coverage Area	Large scale (entire farms)	Limited by flight time and regulations	Depends on sensor placement
Frequency of Data Collection	Regular intervals (e.g., weekly)	As needed, but labor-intensive	Continuous, but limited to sensor locations
Initial Investment	Low (subscription-based)	High (equipment purchase)	Moderate to high (sensors and network)
Ease of Use	High (no equipment to operate)	Moderate (requires piloting skills)	Moderate (requires setup and maintenance)
Data Processing	Automated and cloud-based	Often requires manual processing	Automated but may require local infrastructure
Weather Dependency	Less affected by local weather	Highly dependent on weather conditions	Generally weather-independent
Scalability	Highly scalable	Limited by operational capacity	Scalable but requires additional hardware
