5 CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATION
The research question is, how does the application of
the Internet of Things in Balkot Farm have a positive
impact on efforts to improve collaboration and to
instill integrity practices in urban farming? Balkot
Farm has been initiating a collaboration setting for
all parties to work together with IoT helps. The
study also captures the satisfaction of stakeholders
who feel the benefits of information technology that
facilitates the farming process and at the same time,
creates a working system that is more accountable
and with integrity.
The study recommended several points as the
following: (1) implement integrity system to
maintain the honesty and professional ethics among
the parties; (2) expand the involvement of
government departments and community groups, so
the urban farming skills can be developed and
improved among the wider areas; (3) manage the
assets and financial activities openly, employ IoT for
monitoring and evaluation processes, so the whole
system can be checked by the public through a
transparent system.
Further study needed for urban farming,
especially the economy and technology of staple
food farming in the city. This study has started a
new observation of government-initiated projects,
especially in urban farming or urban agriculture.
The quantitative study is also needed to measure the
impact of urban farming in a certain society or
country. Urban farming is part of our efforts to
secure food and energy globally. Cities are growing
globally, and we need to utilize the potentials of
urban farming worldwide.
