Description

AgriSense Carbon combines IoT soil sensors, AI analytics And Circular bioeconomy practices (Biochar, Compost, biopesticides) to optimize Soil health, Reduce emissions, And generate verifiable carbon credits. The system provides farmers with actionable insights to apply inputs precisely, reducing waste and enhancing carbon sequestration 

Detailed Idea

Alignment with DF goals (BGI, Platform growth, community)

The System provides farmers with actionable insights to apply inputs precisely, reducing waste, And Enhance Carbon Sequestration.

Key Components Such As 

*Ai - Driven Soil monitoring

 1.  IOT Sensors :Measures Soil carbon, pH, Moisture And pesticides Residue in Real Time

2.  Satellite integration :Validate Carbon Stocks Using Sentinel - 2 Imagery And AI Models

3. Mobile App :Delivers input Recommendations (Eg, Biochar/Compost Quatity And Carbon Credit Forcasts.

*Circular Bioeconomy Practices

1. Biochar Production :Pyrolysis Of Agricultural waste into biochar for carbon storage ( 2-5 Tons Co2/ha/year)

2.Compost Application :Sensor - Guided Compost Use To Replace Synthetic Fertiliser, Improving Soil Organic Matter.

3.Bio Pesticides /Inoculants :Microbial Agents Applied Based on sensor - Detected Pest Threats, Reducing Chemical Use

*Carbon Neutralization Work flow

MRV System : Track Carbon Sequestration via sensors And satellite Data, Generating Credit And Farmer Incentives 

Problem description

Poor Soil Carbon Managemen : Inadequate Tools For Measuring And optimizing Carbon sequestration Lead To degraded Soils And Lost Climate Mitigation Opportunities

Pesticides Overuse: Lack Of Affordable Detection Methods Results In Environmental Contamination And Health Risks

Low yields :Mismatched Crops And Poor Soil health Reduce Farm productivity, Exacerbating Food Insecurity.

 

Proposed Solutions

The System provides farmers with actionable insights to apply inputs precisely, Reducing waste, And Enhancing Carbon sequestration which proposed Solutions Such As. 

1. Hybrid Al-Satellite MRV System Reduces Verification Cost

2.Scalabiility :$50/ Sensor unit (Target) Ensures Accessiblility Accross Africa's 33 Million Smallholder Farmers

3.Cimate Mitigation :Enable Farmers To Lock 2-5  Tons of Co2 per Hectare Annually Through Precision Compost Applications.
