The problem to be Inaccurate weather and soil condition predictions for local farm-
addressed lands due to reliance on national meteorological data that is not
specific to local areas. This leads to crop losses and reduced yield
for local farmers.

Key aspects of the solu- • Real-time data collection using AI-enabled weather stations
tion and soil analysis sensors.
• Monitoring of rainfall intensity, wind intensity and direction,
temperature, humidity, pressure, and air quality.
• Soil analysis for temperature, humidity, pH, NPK, and conduc-
tivity (EC).
• Data visualization on dashboards and accessibility through
smartphone applications and web browsers.
• Predictive modeling for accurate local farm-specific forecasts.
