BKC Aggregators: Transforming Lives, One Farmer at a Time

  TECHNOLOGY IS ONLY SAVIOUR FOR FARMERS FROM CLIAMTE CHANGE CHALLENGES Climate change is of ultimate concern to economists, ecologists, and agriculturalists as agriculture and climate change closely relate. While farmers have to amend their practices suffering from weather changes,the impact of modern agriculture on climate change cannot be denied. Thus, the connection between industrial agriculture and climate change demands keen attention as the influence is far from beneficial. The accelerating pace of climate change, combined with global population and income growth, threatens food security and agriculture everywhere. Agriculture is extremely vulnerable to climate change. Higher temperatures eventually reduce yields of desirable crops while encouraging weed and pest proliferation. Pest’s management become less effective, heat waves can cause extreme heat stress in crops, which can limit yields. If we look at 2021 monsoon, we witnessed erratic and extreme rainfall events.

Introduction: BKC Aggregators has been working in area of weather-focused advisories to the farmers through an app named FASAL SALAH . Through this app, Farmers get advisories based on variety sown, date of sowing and weather forecast of their village. Farmers also send their crop pictures as prescribed. This App uses artificial intelligence for image processing of farmers sent pictures and crop modelling analytics, which BKC has established for calculation of yield and health of the crop well before the harvest. The service has been in successful operations with a large number of farmers. FASAL SALAH App , Our Crop monitoring technology is unique using bottoms up approach at field level and correlating ground realities with real-time crop vegetation index monitored via spectral analysis of high-resolution satellite images for different fields and crops. This enables to track positive and negative dynamics of crop development much more realistically. This way it is more realistic way...

  In Rabi season 2020-21, FASAL SALAH team carry out a study of crops grown in Indore district of Madhya Pradesh. Wheat is the major crop of Indore district followed by Gram. Idea was to look at the crop on ground as well as from satellite to see if size the crop and yields could be determined. FASAL SALAH App, Our Crop monitoring technology is unique using bottoms up approach with crop monitoring at field level and correlating ground realities with real-time crop vegetation index monitored via spectral analysis of high-resolution satellite images for different fields and crops. This enables to track positive and negative dynamics of crop development much more realistically. This way it is more realistic way of crop yield estimation before actual harvest. Our technology has been field tested and awarded by Govt. of India (Winner of Great Agriculture Challenge 2019).     Satellite Image Processing and Vegetation Index- The Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spect...
