Sustainable agriculture at Smart AgriOT means using smart technology and eco-friendly methods to grow food. It helps farmers save resources and protect the earth while growing better crops.

Key Sustainable Practices

Water Management: Using precision tools to check soil moisture and water crops only when needed.
Input Reduction: Lowering the use of heavy chemical fertilizers and reducing soil tillage to keep land healthy.
Soil Care: Keeping crop residues on the field, rotating crops, and planting cover crops.
Smart Tech: Connecting drones, IoT sensors, and AI to monitor plant health and stop waste

For crop farming, Smart AgriOT provides digitisation and “Farming-as-a-Service” (FaaS) to modernise fields, especially for smallholder farmers. They use data, IoT sensors, and artificial intelligence to manage crops through several distinct layers:

Crop Management Solutions

Field Mapping & Setup: Solution Managers map out physical fields digitally, analyze soil quality, and select the best-suited crop varieties for the specific land.
Yield Planning: AI algorithms help plan harvest timelines and estimate crop yields from the start of the season.
Agronomist Support: Dedicated agronomists and extension officers work directly with farmers to monitor crop growth, health, and development.
Early Warning Systems: Continuous monitoring tracks weather patterns, temperature, humidity levels, and spreading crop diseases to stop damage before it happens.
Market Access: By monitoring specific parameters (like precise soil moisture), the platform helps smallholders grow crops that meet the strict quality standards of local and international buyers.

NO POVERTY

More than 700 million people, or 10% of the world population, still live in extreme poverty. Surviving on less than US$1.90 a day.

Globally, there are 122 women aged 25 to 34 living in extreme poverty for every 100 men of the same age group.
The majority of people living on less than $1.90 a day live in sub-Saharan Africa.
High poverty rates are often found in small, fragile, and conflict-affected countries.
Poverty affects children disproportionately. One out of five children live in extreme poverty.
As of 2018, 55% of the world’s population has no access to social protection.
In 2018, only 41% of women giving birth received maternity cash benefits.

DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

The global unemployment rate in 2017 was 5.6%, down from 6.4% in 2000.
Globally, 61% of all workers were engaged in informal employment in 2016. Excluding the agricultural sector, 51% of all workers fell into this employment category.
Men earn 12.5% more than women in 40 out of 45 countries with data.
The global gender pay gap stands at 23 percent globally and without decisive action, it will take another 68 years to achieve equal pay. Women’s labor force participation rate is 63 percent while that of men is 94 percent.
Despite their increasing presence in public life, women continue to do 2.6 times the unpaid care and domestic work that men do.
470 million jobs are needed globally for new entrants to the labor market between 2016 and 2030.

REDUCED INEQUALITIES

In 2016, over 64.4% of products exported by the least developed countries to world markets faced zero tariffs, an increase of 20% since 2010.
Evidence from developing countries shows that children in the poorest 20 percent of the population are still up to three times more likely to die before their fifth birthday than children in the richest quintiles.
Social protection has been significantly extended globally, yet persons with disabilities are up to five times more likely than average to incur catastrophic health expenditures.
Despite overall declines in maternal mortality in most developing countries, women in rural areas are still up to three times more likely to die while giving birth than women living in urban centers.
Up to 30 percent of income inequality is due to inequality within households, including between women and men. Women are also more likely than men to live below 50 percent of the median income
