- IoT in Agriculture: Preserving Tradition While Adapting To ChangeHow does tradition blend with innovation in century-old agricultural practices? In this final blog of my research series, I share insights from my visit to a family farm in Muggia, Italy, where Bruno Lenardon continues his family’s generations-old cultivation traditions while embracing IoT solutions.
