Problem: Farmers never asked them about GHG or the soil carbon content, they wanted to know what was wrong with their plants and how to best treat a certain disease. The vast majority of farmers had a local name for the pathogens, which didn’t help much.

Solution: PEAT, along with ICRISAT, has rolled out Plantix, a free app for farmers in South India. The app is adapted to important crops in the region and is offered in local languages. The app identifies plant damages just by taking a picture, thus aiding farmers to save their crops without losing much time.
