The SMARTFARM System, developed by C-DAC, harnesses cutting-edge technology to help farmers make informed decisions about irrigation and fertilization. By utilizing real-time data on environmental and soil conditions, this system enables farmers to optimize their farming strategies, leading to increased productivity and resource efficiency.

This farmer-centric solution not only boosts economic viability but also promotes sustainable agricultural practices, addressing environmental concerns associated with modern farming techniques.
The system monitors crucial farm parameters such as soil moisture, pH levels, and atmospheric conditions like temperature and humidity. Farmers can customize alerts to receive real-time notifications via SMS, allowing them to make proactive decisions even when they are away from their fields. Additionally, farmers can remotely control agricultural equipment through their mobile phones, enhancing convenience and efficiency.
With the launch of the SMARTFARM System, C-DAC continues to demonstrate its expertise in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), paving the way for a brighter and more sustainable future for Indian agriculture.
