Program Objectives

Our pilot program was designed with specific, measurable objectives to validate the effectiveness of AgriPulse technology in real-world farming conditions.

Technology Adoption

Demonstrate the practical application of satellite data, IoT sensors, and AI recommendations in smallholder farming operations.

Productivity Enhancement

Increase crop yields and farm productivity through data-driven decision making and precision agriculture techniques.

Resource Optimization

Reduce input costs and environmental impact through efficient use of water, fertilizers, and pesticides.

Knowledge Transfer

Build local capacity through farmer training programs and extension worker education on modern agricultural practices.

Implementation Approach

Our 12-month systematic approach in the Barind Tract focuses on data collection, AI model development, and farmer dashboard deployment in one of South Asia's most water-stressed regions.

Farmer Testimonials

Hear directly from farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been transformed through the AgriPulse pilot program.

Abdul Rahman
Rice Farmer, Rajshahi

"AgriPulse helped me increase my rice yield by 30% while using less water. The mobile alerts for irrigation timing were incredibly helpful, especially during the dry season."

Fatima Khatun
Vegetable Farmer, Rajshahi

"The pest prediction system saved my tomato crop from a major outbreak. I was able to treat early and saved over 80% of my crop, which would have been lost."

Mohammad Hasan
Mixed Farmer, Rajshahi

"The market price alerts helped me sell my crops at the best time. I earned 25% more this season compared to previous years just by timing my sales better."

Scaling Our Impact

Based on the success of the Rajshahi pilot, we're expanding AgriPulse to new regions and crops, bringing transformative agricultural technology to more farming communities.
