The Krishi App helps farmers in multiple ways
Project Coordinator Panthi added talked about the methods of farming through information technology, getting information about diseases, and facilitating farming according to the seasons.
Farmers can also receive information about seasons and agriculture, etc. via SMS.
The use of digital means is growing in every sector. The expansion of the internet, and smartphones, has made it easier for people to integrate technology in different sectors. Likewise, the idea of smart agriculture is also growing.
Being heavily reliant on agriculture for National GDP and subsistence, technology could greatly raise the potential of Nepali farmers and at the same time improve digital inclusion.
