ICAR’s AI-Powered Agromet Advisory:
ICRISAT and ICAR have launched an AI-powered, context-specific Agromet Advisory Service for climate-resilient agriculture.
- ICAR’s AI-Powered Agromet Advisory is a real-time, personalised climate advisory system developed using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to assist smallholder farmers in making informed agricultural decisions amid rising climate risks.
- Jointly launched by ICRISAT and ICAR, with support from the Government of India’s Monsoon Mission-III and partners like IMD, IITM, and CGIAR’s AI4CRA.
- Objective is to provide real-time, hyper-local, and personalised weather and climate advisories to smallholder farmers for adaptive decision-making.
- The project is being piloted in Maharashtra through ICAR’s Agro-Meteorological Field Units (AMFUs) before scaling nationwide and internationally.
