DEWSclim

What it does

DEWSClim is a mobile application that addresses the unpredictability of weather patterns due to climate change by providing a dynamic early warning system that offers farmers timely and accurate information and farming recommendations. Farmers often struggle to achieve optimal crop yields due to a lack of precise information on the best planting times and input mixes, and high production costs that impede profitability. DEWSClim aims to enable farmers to make strategic decisions about crop management and increases their resilience against climate-related risks.
DEWSClim is a mobile application providing weather forecasts and farming recommendations for farmers across agroecological zones in Nigeria, covering crop selection, pest, disease, and soil management, and considering prevailing conditions. Wrangled climate, soil, and production data were fed into machine learning models to forecast future conditions. Results and Gemini AI-driven sustainable practices were integrated into the mobile app to mitigate problems.
The Gemini API was integrated to calculate yield based on specific parameters and to provide answers to questions related to agricultural productivity, crop management, and environmental factors. By utilizing this API, users can not only assess potential yield outcomes but also gain insights into optimal farming practices, weather-related impacts, and resource allocation, enabling data-driven decision-making in agriculture.
