FIDAFAM SMART FARM 2025

“FIDAFAM SMART FARM 2025”

Objective of the Project

To establish a fully integrated smart farm that demonstrates the latest technology in protected cultivation, precision agriculture, automation, and climate control. This model farm will act as a learning lab for:

  • Local Farmers (to upgrade their skills)
  • Agricultural Students (for hands-on training)
  • Agricultural Extension Officers
  • Agri Startups (to study commercial models)
  • Government & Private Agencies (for R&D partnerships)

  • Multi-cropping system for year-round productivity.
  • Smart fertigation integrated with crop calendars.

IoT-Based Monitoring System

  • Sensors for soil, climate, water, and crop health data.
  • Data transmitted to a cloud platform, accessible by farmers and students.
  • Alerts for disease risk, nutrient deficiency, or climate variations.

Drones & Robotics

  • Drones for aerial monitoring, pesticide spraying, and imaging.
  • Robots for soil preparation, precision planting, and harvesting.
  • AI-powered crop health analysis from drone imaging.

Project Impact

For Farmers
