    Summary of your project SDGs: 2 (Zero Hunger), 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), 13 (Climate Action)
    Description: Develop an AI-based system and climate data analysis platform for small farmers in El Salvador. The platform will provide weather forecasts, fertilizer usage recommendations, and early pest s. It will include a WhatsApp chatbot, allowing farmers without access to advanced technology to easily receive recommendations.

    Innovation: The use of AI and big data in the agricultural sector with an accessible approach.

    Objective of the Project Objectives:

    Optimize agricultural production on small farms through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance decision-making on planting, irrigation, and fertilization.
    Reduce crop losses by providing early warnings about pests, diseases, and extreme weather changes based on climate data analysis and historical patterns.
    Facilitate access to innovative technology for small farmers through an accessible platform, integrated with WhatsApp and SMS, eliminating technological barriers.
    Promote agricultural sustainability and climate change adaptation with personalized recommendations on the efficient use of fertilizers and water, reducing environmental impacts.
    Empower farming communities with training on digital tools and access to key information to improve productivity and profitability.
    Expected Benefits from the Project For Farmers: ✅ Increased crop yield: Efficient use of resources based on accurate data.
    ✅ Reduced losses: Early s for pests and adverse weather conditions.
    ✅ Affordable access to technology: Free or low-cost platform with an easy interface via WhatsApp.
    ✅ Input savings: Optimized use of water and fertilizers, reducing costs.

    For Sustainability and the Environment: 🌱 Lower environmental impact: Reduction in the overuse of agrochemicals.
    🌱 Water optimization: Efficient use of water resources in crops.
    🌱 Climate resilience: Helps farmers adapt to changing weather conditions.

    For the Local Economy: 📈 Increased economic stability: Farmers can sell higher-quality and larger quantities of products.
    📈 Reduced economic losses: Prevents crop destruction from unexpected weather events.
    📈 Boost to innovation in the agricultural sector: Encourages digitization in rural communities.
    Anything you would like to inform the potential partner By participating, you will be part of a larger movement towards empowering small farmers with the tools they need to thrive in a rapidly changing climate. You’ll be part of something that not only benefits the farmers but also supports broader goals such as ending hunger (SDG 2), fostering innovation (SDG 9), and addressing climate change (SDG 13).

    If you’re passionate about technology, agriculture, and sustainability, Tech4Agro is an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of small farmers while gaining valuable experience.
