- The SMART-CROP project was launched through a partnership between SBI Foundation, the University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), Raichur, the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), and Agri bridge.
- SMART-CROP stands for Sustainable Monitoring and Real-time Tracking for Crop Resilience and Optimal Practices.
- The three-year project aims to strengthen the resilience and productivity of over 8,000 smallholder farmers in Karnataka (Bidar, Kalaburagi, Raichur) and Telangana (Sanga reddy, Vikarabad).
- The project employs advanced technologies such as satellite imaging, remote sensing, and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) analytics to provide real-time monitoring of crop stress.
- The project focuses on pulse crops, particularly chickpea and pigeon pea.
- It also involves digital inclusion, farmer-participatory approaches, and socio-economic assessments to evaluate yield gaps and agroecological benefits.
