+<br>"What we have actually constructed is a technology that enables crops to speak to their farmers," said Ananda Verma, a [creator](http://mikc.org) of Fasal, which serves around 12,000 [farmers](http://panelbeateralberton.co.za).<br>

+<br>But [Fasal's items](http://frankenuti.gaatverweg.nl) cost between $57 and $287 to set up.<br>
