Sustainable Management of Agrarian Resources in a Topography
SMART
Stage of adaption :
Crop Planning Stage
TECHNOLOGY BRIEF
Our platform, SMART, uses satellite data to classify crop lands and estimate the demand for resources like water in a given topography. SMART identifies resource stressed areas and explore possible interventions to increase crop productivity. This helps farmers and planners in their decision making process.
SMART uses a parametric model to understand temporal variations of an area. This model is capable of capturing plot level data from satellite data and deriving information needed for crop planning. This parametric model is developed using Machine learning based unsupervised classifiers which can give weather conditions for a locality and thus help in planning the sowing of a crop. At the scale of state or district SMART helps in understanding crop sowing status.
BENEFITS
- AI based technology developed in Telangana for deriving the land conditions from satellite data
- Derives lot of information from open satellite data and thus reduces field visits saving time and money
- Earlier version of this model was used by the Irrigation department of Telangana Government in their Lake Management and Monitoring System.
TECHNOLOGY READINESS
Deployed in largescale
SMART has a water model which feeds information to a larger land use model. Water model being used by ICAD, Government of Telangana for monitoring 40000+ surface water bodies in Telangana.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Technology Not Protected
CERTIFICATION
Not Applicable
TARGET CUSTOMERS
• Farmer Producer Organizations
• State Agriculture Department
SCALABILITY
The product is developed using standard compliant SAAS routines. So it is scalable across large geographies and it can also handle a large user base because of its inherent data driven model.
LIMITATIONS
No major challenges
TECHNOLOGY COST
Rs 300 per Ha per season.
SOCIAL IMPACT
SMART enables planners to understand the local agro climatic conditions and encourages them to plan cultivation of crops based on these data points. So it reduces the risk of financial losses to the farmers and also improves the efficiency of natural resource utilization.
