Mumbai: The Watershed Organisation Trust (WOTR), a leading non-profit organisation driving climate-resilient agriculture and rural transformation, has achieved a significant milestone with its digital advisory platform, FarmPrecise.
The app has crossed 1 lakh downloads, equipping farmers across four Indian states with hyper-local, real-time insights and AI-powered recommendations.
By enabling smarter, data-driven decisions on crop and resource management, FarmPrecise has helped farmers reduce input costs by up to 20 per cent, boosting both productivity and resilience in the face of climate uncertainty.
Currently active in Maharashtra, Telangana, Odisha, and Madhya Pradesh, FarmPrecise supports 38 different crops and is available in five regional languages; English, Hindi, Marathi, Telugu, and Odia, ensuring accessibility and ease of use for a wide spectrum of farming communities.
Powered by scientific models and meteorological data, FarmPrecise delivers a comprehensive suite of services.
These include AI-driven crop and nutrient management advisories, precision fertiliser planning, five-day weather forecasts, and real-time updates on market prices. It also provides a digital library of pest and disease management solutions to help farmers proactively protect their crops.
In a press statement, Prakash Keskar, Executive Director, WOTR, said: “In a country where nearly 65% of the population lives in rural areas and agriculture plays a vital economic role, empowering these communities with tools that are practical, localised, and actionable is essential. FarmPrecise bridges the gap between traditional practices and precision agriculture, enabling farmers to make timely, data-backed decisions that strengthen their livelihoods.”
