Nepal has an immense diversity in terms of geographic, topographic and climatic conditions. However, intervention to increase crop productivity with pest/diseases control and promoting genetically modified crop are not sufficient in the context of changing climate, population growth and degradation of resources. More specifically and importantly, information such as bio-physical, climatic and agro economic information are useful but contextualize them to get the relevant information is harder to find. GeoKRISHI leverage geospatial ICT (Geo-ICT) tools to create a platform that provides farmers with site-specific and timely agro-advisory services to improve crop productivity and farmers profitability. Our intelligent analytics tool adopts a proven technology (e.g. crop modeling and machine learning) and use untapped data sources to make farming more efficient. For example, our system will integrate both biophysical and socio-economic data together with our network of partners and deliver site-specific and contextualized information services at the right time that were previously out of reach to farmers and intermediaries.
