Farm Modules

Data-driven farming and agri-digital services like this proposed platform and Application will work as an adaptation "technique," or the procedure of adjusting to and coping with the consequences of the existing or anticipated climate. In addition, it acts as a "system" with climate resilience, allowing it to gradually adjust to new threats as they develop, recover from shocks it can't absorb, and absorb the climatic shocks it can.

Proposal

Modules Overview

doubling the Farmers Income by 2025

Module - Insurance

This module allows the farmer to find out about specific insurance policies related to climate change and, if necessary, to take them out and make claims. In addition, the farmer can also enter and manage all his other insurances relating to farming, family, accident, life insurance, liability, legal protection and so on.

Schemes

Due to the registration to this state portal, the farmer has the opportunity to find out about subsidies, but can also take advantage of such subsidies directly with a click. In addition, this module has the advantage that the farmer can contact the authorities directly to give possible feedback and/or take advantage of subsidies that have been specially developed for the circumstances of his farm with regard to for example soil or droughts.

What to farm?

This module is used by the farmer to obtain information regarding:

  • regular/conservative farming
  • zero budget farming
  • organic farming
  • vertical farming
  • permaculture farming
  • mushroom farming
  • seedling farming
  • seed farming

as well detailed Information about profitability in comparison

Climate Information

This module is used by the farmer to obtain information regarding:

Climate related data to specific district from the last 10/20/30 years

Climate related data to specific district with prognosis for the next 10/20/30 years

Climate related data:

  • Monsun
  • Rainfall
  • Temperature
  • Drought
  • and more
Weather Information

This module is used by the farmer to obtain information regarding:

  • weather related data to specific place of farm regarding upcoming weather changes
  • getting notified via SMS if weather forecast is given weather warnings regarding Storm, wind, hail or others
  • all information about current weather
  • one week weather forecast
Farm Management

Agriculture software is a recent beneficial finding of the digital world on the merge of cybernetic and agronomy. Digital applications simplify agrarians’ lives. Smart innovations make their business comfortable, predictable, confident, more profitable.

The farm management system aids in solving many tasks of different complexity. Various tools aim at making important decisions within a short time. Farming apps not only speed up the process but provide a well-informed background. This increases the chances that the solution will be correct.Agronomy software makes the farm management process easier, covering a wide spectrum of agricultural activities:

  • record-keeping/maintenance
  • fertilizer/water saturation
  • crop rotation
  • seeding/harvesting time
  • pest control
  • weather precipitation
  • yield prognosis
  • track farming
  • resources optimization
  • risk management
  • loss prevention

Modern agricultural tools are grouped according to the scope of tasks they fulfill and the frequency of their applications. These two aspects allow distinguishing the following classification:

Farm management entails three significant clusters: enterprise management and finances, crop management, the system of enterprise resource planning (ERP).

Crop management suggests plant growth monitoring and prediction of yields.

Management and finances entail general farm management issues including farm supervision, inventory maintenance, accounting and financial reports, control and guidance of workers, etc.

ERP allows collecting information regarding crop conditions, work of personnel, farming activities with further analysis and planning.

Precision agriculture and predictive analytics ensure optimization of cost inputs and increase field performance. These apps allow farmers to oversee risks and prevent their consequences, to treat critical areas only reducing chemical applications.

Field monitoring and sensors cover a vast scope of essential features including plant growth, pest control and weed management, fertilizing and irrigation, weather and soil conditions.

Platforms for big data aggregation  accumulate information from multiple sources but do not interpret it.

Platforms for big data analytics analyze retrieved geospatial data with further recommendations for agrarians.

Spatial imagery and big data analytics  process spatial images.

Scouting software  tracks critical areas.

Miscellaneous apps comprise remote sensors and in-field hardware, software for robots and UAVs.

Machinery

This Modul gives Information about:

  • New Farming Machinery
  • a marketplace for new Farming equipment of all sort
  • a second hand market for Farming equipment of all sort
  • Future Innovations
  • and also gives the farmer through our communication platform to share machinery with farmers near by
  • this also can be connected to Banks for Credit or governmental Schemes
Fertilizer Shop

This Modul gives Information about

  • all sorts of Fertilizer (Issues and benefits)
  • and the opportunity to directly purchase the product of need through one platform
E-Wallet

To speed up the disbursal of fertilizer subsidies, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) will hold a meeting to discuss the use of e-wallets for farmers. The government is working on a plan that will enable the direct disbursal of subsidies straight to farmers’ e-wallets, fast-tracking the entire process and make it more efficient.

Under the new system, the subsidies will be paid to farmers directly, once the system of e-wallets gets created. Even though the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme was launched by the government back in 2013, the transfer of subsidies was being done directly to the concerned company instead of the farmers’ bank accounts. The companies used to get paid once a sale was made.

Farmers in India battle several issues each year with irregular monsoons, and unstable commodity prices. One of the features of these e-wallets is that the money transferred will not lapse, and hence the farmers can carry over the unused amounts to the next crop season.

As agriculture is the backbone of our economy, the government is always looking to introduce measures to protect farmers and drive agricultural growth.

Crop Advisory


Weather and climate information plays a vital role in agricultural production and management. In order to provide the weather information and agro-advisories needed for the block/taluka level farming community, India Meteorological Department (IMD) in collaboration with ICAR initiated to set up District Agro-Met Unit (DAMU) at each district across India under Gramin Krishi Mausam Seva (GKMS) scheme.

Objectives of DAMU

  • To prepare and issue in time, crop specific, weather based District / Block level Agromet Advisory for next 5 days by AMFUs and DAMUs
  • To collect and organize climate/weather, soil and crop information and to amalgamate them to prepare database for value addition of advisory
  • Real time verification of the forecast and reporting of weather events
  • To enhance the outreach and dissemination of services
  • Collection of feedback and improve the services
