The project is based on the idea of providing better yields for agricultural lands. For this to work, we will be using sensors embedded in uniformly distributed parts of the agricultural land, and therewith guage the requirements of nutrients and/or water in the part of the land where it is scarce, depleted or is in excess, thus making sustainable use of groundwater and effectively reduce depletion of soil fertility.
From a research conducted, one of the best methods to reduce GHG emissions is to develop irrigation techniques that used water efficiently. Also by the efficient use of fertilizers on the agricultural land, the main crop related emission, the N2O gas, which has 10 times more impact on climate change than methane would significantly reduce.
On one hand our project would reduce GHG emissions while on the other, it would help farmers of India to acquire a better yield, thus, creating a win-win situation.
