Using mobile devices and a questionnaire, 6th Grain engages with farmers in the field to collect specific data on the management of their farm to gain a better understanding of their current situation.
The information collected is used to build a digital Farm Registration. The registry is a powerful interactive online visualization tool that will allow for a flexible and focused presentation of the data to the project stakeholders.
The farmer data is combined with satellite and weather information, agriculture crop models, and a geographical information analysis tool to provide specific agricultural analysis that can assist in policy and extension of improved agricultural technologies.
6th Grain’s Farm Registration collection system contains a robust, rapid and automated way to upload and post ground data to the web, in a password-protected platform. To maximize the collected data’s usability, an executive data analytics platform is available.
