हर खेत पर आसमान से नज़र, हर कुछ दिन में।
Khet Nazar reads free European satellite images of each enrolled field, spots a weak patch before it is visible from the bund, and sends the farmer clear advice in Hindi on WhatsApp, with the right product at the nearest store.
Five steps run automatically every morning. A person at the store approves each message before it goes out.
A pest spreads in round patches, disease follows the water, thirst shows as a gradient. Reading the shape, the speed and the weather together is what turns a colour map into advice.
Khet Nazar uses the European Union's Copernicus Sentinel satellites. Their images are free and open, so the cost of watching a field is close to nothing.
