An AI-based weather and climate information system in Nepal helps farmers better manage extreme and unpredictable weather in a country highly dependent on agriculture. Because Nepal’s complex microclimates make general forecasts unreliable and hard to access in rural areas, farmers often make planting and harvesting decisions with high risk, leading to frequent crop losses and financial insecurity.
To address this, a system using artificial intelligence and decades of local weather data provides village-level forecasts and seasonal outlooks. It translates data into simple, practical advice on farming activities such as planting, irrigation, pest control, and harvesting. Information is delivered via SMS, WhatsApp, or email, ensuring wide accessibility even in remote areas.
The system has improved decision-making, reduced crop losses, and strengthened resilience among farming communities, showing how targeted digital tools can support climate adaptation and food security.
