Description
Project PRITHVI is a low-cost alert system designed to help farmers detect early signs of soil erosion, land tilt, heavy rainfall, and poor irrigation. It uses real-time sensors and sends alerts with live field data while also providing soil conservation techniques and suggestions.
Audience Reach
Targeted at small-scale farmers in developing economies and agricultural researchers. The project aims to scale via open-source adoption within the global communities to provide data-driven soil protection where satellite monitoring is unaffordable.
Target Users
Small-to-medium scale farmers, environmental NGOs, and soil conservationists. It is designed for users who require early-warning systems for land instability (landslides/erosion) and optimized irrigation without the high cost of industrial-grade telemetry systems.
Technologies
