Challenge:

Traditional agricultural practices often lead to inefficiencies and environmental degradation due to over-spraying and over-irrigation.

Aim:

Implement a digital platform to provide farmers with real-time insights into environmental and soil conditions, enabling optimized agricultural practices.

Solution:

Collect data from devices installed under UC 5.1, such as air temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind conditions, solar radiation, soil moisture, and temperature. Store and analyze this data on the agroNET platform to:

• Offer recommendations for optimizing irrigation and pesticide use.
• Provide access to weather forecasts, disease predictions, and field-specific insights.
• Aggregate and contextualize community data for enhanced decision-making and additional revenue streams.

Ensure data privacy by restricting access to specific field data to respective owners while sharing community-wide data for collective benefit.

Benefit:

This platform bridges the digital divide in rural areas, enhances farming practices through data-driven insights, improves resource management, and reduces environmental impact. Farmers benefit from increased yields, optimized costs, and decreased pesticide use.
