Challenges
Many agricultural projects involve smallholder farmers with fragmented land holdings. Aggregating these small plots into meaningful carbon projects can be complex.Â
Gathering accurate and comprehensive data on individual farmers, their land holdings, and agricultural practices can be challenging.Â
Overlapping farm boundaries may result in duplicated data, leading to inaccuracies in carbon accounting and project evaluation.Â
Data Collection can be time consuming and resource intensive.Â
Tracking of irrigation schedules can be cumbersome and inaccurate.Â
Network connectivity challenges for collection of data through mobile apps.Â
Continuous monitoring and reporting of activities is challenging.Â
Training and Technical support to farmers.Â
Scalability of ProjectsÂ
Solutions
Farm ManagementÂ
This involves digitization of farm activities, onboarding of farmers , geo tagging of their land plots and configuration of paddy crop. The package of practices and irrigation activities are configured.Â
Â
Capturing of Baseline DataÂ
The initial conditions of the field, water usage and farming practices are capturedÂ
Â
Monitoring of Irrigation (AWD) PracticesÂ
The real time monitoring of these activities are carried out along with tracking of water usage and impact on crop yields. This includes monitoring of flooded and drained periods of land and the safe AWD levelsÂ
Â
Reporting of ActivitiesÂ
This involves reporting on water consumption, crop health and impact on emissions. Audit ready reports are generated to facilitate Verification bodies.Â
