dc.description.abstractSmart farming offers a potentially beneficial prospect for farming in Uganda and beyond. Nonetheless, there is no adequate methodical inquiries on what smart farming essentially denotes and the different openings through which it can be boosted in this perspective. This study aimed to look at one of the different opportunities by which smart farming can be enhanced in mid-north Uganda, that is, irrigation technology, through an experiential analysis of the success stories and observed patterns of those that have implemented the technology. The outcomes appear to describe fundamentally interrelated and reciprocally underpinning components that facilitate irrigation technology to enhance smart farming even where several issues of socioeconomic background remain restrictions. The issues involve initial capital investment as well as abilities and information necessary to operate as well as sustain the technology. Also, the source of water, pipe used to direct the water to the sprinkler, the pump used and the sprinkler used to irrigate the land are key attributes for keeping irrigation technology afloat while at the same time enhancing the much sought for smart farming. We conclude that the above elements echo with the ideas of food security as well as sustainable agricultural practices. This study offers a valued abstract for agricultural extension workers serving local communities in Uganda to promote ecologically responsive farming technologies.en_US
