The study aims to assess the effectiveness of intelligent irrigation systems on coffee plantations under varying climate conditions.
Employed a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data analysis and qualitative interviews.
Conducted a randomized controlled trial in Costa Rica to test different watering schedules.
Utilized surveys in Madagascar to evaluate farmers' perceptions of irrigation system effectiveness.
Intelligent irrigation systems increased coffee yields by an average of 15% compared to traditional methods.
Post-implementation, farmers in Madagascar reported a 20% improvement in soil moisture levels.
The systems demonstrated significant reductions in water usage, contributing to enhanced resource efficiency.
