Leverage our modular, enterprise cloud platform to unify farmer experience across agri value chain.
Our civilization has shifted the balance of soil health towards a point where it no longer supports life without our inputs. This has not only made farming economically unfeasible for small landholders but also made environmentally harmful which contributes to climate change. Enter Regenerative Agriculture Software.
Regenerative farming practices, particularly those that raise soil organic matter, enhance soil health. In addition to improving the diversity and health of the soil biota, this also boosts biodiversity, enhances soil's ability to store water. It also offers great environmental benefit in the form of carbon sequestered through these set of practices at greater depths within the soil layers. This lowers atmospheric CO2 levels that harm the climate and eventually the food production cycle. The change in the nitrogen to carbon levels can change and enhance the soil structure to mitigate the massive, civilization-threatening loss of soil that comes as a result of human interventions.
Initiating the process of capturing data would require thorough understanding of the end goals. Here the process begins right from the baseline data on soil health, historic crop data, yield predictions and input consumption records. These records can be analyzed for tracking progress, reporting and decision-making by the agribusinesses or individual farmers involved. Field level data collection will not only build for a strong database for future but will also pave the way for proven methodologies that create impact. Regenerative farming is still in the gray area for assured benefits but we can rest assure that if the process is digitized then the benefits of the program can be quantified. These records on practices and activities can also help organizations who look into regenerative certifications as well.
Remote sensing technology today can not only be applied for agriculture farm plots but also on agroforestry regions if the relevant data points are captured from the field. Building a relationship between the various parameters that indicate improved soil health such as biodiversity through microbes, presence of earthworms, microbial content, soil organic carbon, fertility, etc. and the practices applied helps chart out a process for estimating progress in soil health. Remote sensing along with weather data and farming practices adds great insights on soil improvement programs.
To transition from traditional farming practices will require identifying right data points to be analyzed. Practices like crop cover and no-tillage ensures growth in soil microbes and fosters route for availability of nutrients the plants need. This is to ensure we are in sync with the drop in synthetic fertilizer consumption by replacing with right amount of biological. It will help to replace the need for costly inputs with natural availability of nutrients at the right time and zone within the soil. There’s also change in the microbial load of the soil among other parameters caused by these practices and the benefits of which can be seen in healthier and disease-free growth of the plants.
Generate actionable insights by slicing the data in customized reporting structures that creates reports on soil health improvements, practices adoption rates, impact of change in weather, biological adoption, and much more. Visualize data for on-going projects and make decisions on-the-go with our analytics tool. If you have the several data sources to be brought together for data visualization, then our software platform bridges these sources for pulling together data points and provide you with a unified view of regenerative projects. Stay updated with certification progress, practices adoption and expenses of your program to enable swift implementation for large farmer base or farms.
Switching from your traditional farming practices and science to regenerative practices that mimic the very nature of growing requires solutions that guides on practices, monitor progress and enables effective implementation. KhetiBuddy’s solution resolves the fundamental challenges in practicing regenerative agriculture which includes tracking the very change in the soil health and its impact on the yield.
