The proposed technologies such as GIS-based Farm ERP systems, IoT-enabled sensors, and AI/ML algorithms enable data-driven decision-making, optimizing resource usage, and improving crop management.
Increased crop yield and quality through better pest management, efficient irrigation, and adoption of sustainable practices result in improved incomes and food security for ST farmers.
Adoption of eco-friendly pest control methods and reduced reliance on chemical inputs contribute to a healthier environment, mitigating health risks associated with excessive pesticide usage.
Sustainable farming practices like organic farming promote soil health, reducing health hazards from chemical exposure and providing healthier produce for consumption.
Transparent supply chain solutions through blockchain technology ensure fair pricing, reducing exploitation by intermediaries and empowering ST farmers economically.
Access to markets and fair pricing enhances socioeconomic status, allowing ST farmers to invest in education, healthcare, and overall community development.
Technology-driven knowledge dissemination and skill-building initiatives empower ST farmers with modern farming techniques, market insights, and technological literacy.
Equipped with updated knowledge and skills, ST farmers become more resilient, adaptable, and capable of embracing change, thereby enhancing their socioeconomic status.
Collaborative platforms and farmer cooperatives foster community engagement, knowledge exchange, and collective decision-making, leading to improved socioeconomic conditions at the community level.
Enhanced cooperation and shared learning among ST communities result in collective empowerment and sustainable development initiatives.
Implementation of advanced irrigation systems and climate-resilient farming practices helps ST farmers adapt to changing climatic conditions, reducing vulnerability to crop failures and economic losses.
Access to real-time data and technology-driven insights assists in managing risks posed by climate variability, enhancing ST farmers' resilience against adverse agricultural impacts.
