Project Climate Smart

Project Climate Smart aims to introduce new technologies in agriculture and climate monitoring that will increase food production, monitor and measure weather and climate in unmonitored rural areas, and reduce the impact of weather volatility and natural disasters on governments and civil society.

By placing small weather stations on farms where food is grown, and where no weather observations currently exist, precise weather information is collected and used as an input to precision agriculture applications that enable local farmers to make better decisions about their operations. These weather stations also serve to document the local climate on farms and in rural areas where little or no data exists today.

- Increase in food production in areas affected by hunger and weather volatility - Establishment of the largest network of agricultural weather stations - Greater resilience in agriculture through precision weather data - Enhanced decision-making capabilities for farmers - Better local climate monitoring and weather forecasting - Indirect benefits to the general population through increased food supply
