A technology platform based on the Terrestrial Observation and Prediction System (TOPS, developed at NASA), offers pioneering solutions when it comes to monitoring, modeling and forecasting crop conditions including location-specific weather, crop health and crop yields. Using an array of tools and technologies dealing with data from satellites, mobile phones, drones, automated weather stations, collaborative computing and modeling, Niruthi’s technology efficiently deals with the heterogeneity common in marginal farming systems.
