Sustainable Agriculture & Food Security

Seed kits with local-language manuals & WhatsApp peer-monitoring — adoption rose 15% → 80%+ in 12 communities. ABCD nutritional assessments with food demonstrations; diet diversification in 60% of households; integrated with TB-Free Village; 90%+ nutrition-awareness coverage.

Mushroom farming (Guptapada, Odisha — IoT digester monitoring & market linkages); seaweed for coastal livelihoods; moringa as iron & vitamin supplement; avocado for income diversification; lemongrass SHG distillation (Wayanad); fruit-tree interventions for long-term nutrition.

An integrated digital agriculture platform that combines crop models, AI, IoT, remote sensing, weather data, and GIS to create dynamic digital twins of farms and cropping systems. The platform enables real-time crop monitoring, yield prediction, climate risk assessment, and decision support, empowering farmers and policymakers with data-driven strategies for climate-smart and resilient agriculture.

An intelligent farm protection platform that combines IoT sensors, AI-based multi-species detection, and real-time monitoring to identify and respond to wildlife incursions. Using species-specific, non-invasive deterrent strategies and designated recovery zones, the system minimizes crop damage while promoting coexistence between humans and wildlife, supporting sustainable agriculture and biodiversity conservation.

Optimising vegetable-based cropping to improve yields while maintaining soil fertility, biological activity and ecosystem health — practical recommendations for smallholders, plus an online certificate course on organic farming & nutrient resource management across all CCRRC states.

Drought forecasting & crop modelling; AI plant-disease detection app (Coimbatore); Farmers’ Diary & Crop Suitability Map; methane mitigation in rice via microbial consortium; smart irrigation; participatory rice production under abiotic stress; RAWE student–farmer module.

An innovative robotic tree-climbing system designed to address the shortage and safety risks of traditional coconut harvesting. The wireless-controlled robot can climb coconut trees of varying diameters and inclinations, enabling efficient and reliable harvesting while reducing dependence on manual labor and improving farmer safety.
