How I Developed This Project

I was in my village during lockdown. During the lockdown the unavailability of resources, harvesters and tractors inspired me to take this challenge. My approach for solving this problem was to go and meet farmers and tractors owner. Android studio for making the app and Open API provide by Indian government for crop.

It was difficult to analyse the data and configure for app, although I came across it.

How I Used Space Agency Data in This Project

I used space agency data for reports about crop, weather in the region, what would be the best time for harvesting and for tractor entrepreneurs I used the data to know in which area the harvesting season in on the go.

I used the Global World, Cropped Area from EO-Dashboard to give the insight for tractor entrepreneurs and the Indian government

Agriculture statics data for farmers crop forecast.

Earth Observing Dashboard Integration

Kṛṣi-vat App can be integrated to Earth Observing Dashboard  for World, Cropped Area - Global, by which we can provide the data of cropped area to tractors entrepreneurs and help them to locate the best site for there tractors.
