🌾 FarmCo-Pilot: AI-Driven MRV Platform Delivering Scalable, Auditable Solutions for Smallholder Agroforestry and Rice Carbon Projects

NABARD Hackathon 2025 - Scalable MRV Solutions for Agroforestry and Rice-Based Carbon Projects

status: WIP

📖 Table of Contents

🎯 Problem Statement

NABARD Challenge: Developing scalable, cost-effective MRV solutions for Agroforestry and Rice-Based Carbon Projects with a farmer-first approach

Core Issues Addressed:

  • 🌱 Low Agricultural Productivity: Modern crop varieties require precise management that traditional methods cannot provide
  • 📱 Digital Exclusion: 70% of smallholder farmers lack smartphone access or digital literacy
  • 💰 Market Access Barriers: Small harvests (10-20kg) cannot meet buyer minimum requirements
  • 📋 Complex MRV Systems: Current carbon credit verification is too expensive and complex for smallholders
  • 🌾 Knowledge Gaps: Limited access to soil-specific, weather-appropriate agronomic guidance
  • 🔗 Fragmented Solutions: Separate systems for advisory, market linkage, and climate verification

🚀 Solution Overview

FarmCo-Pilot is a comprehensive, farmer-first digital platform that seamlessly integrates agronomic guidance, market access, and verifiable climate action into one inclusive system serving both smartphone and basic phone users equally.

🎯 Key Innovations:

  1. 🔄 Complete Integration: Combines advisory, market linkage, MRV, and subsidy access in one platform
  2. 📞 True Inclusivity: Equal functionality via smartphone apps and multilingual voice systems
  3. 🛰️ Advanced Data Fusion: Integrates Sentinel-2 imagery, SoilGrids, weather data, and farmer inputs
  4. ✅ Embedded MRV: Built-in carbon credit system, not an add-on component
  5. 🤝 Community-Centric: Leverages producer groups and existing social structures
  6. 💡 AI-Powered Guidance: Context-aware recommendations for every farm
