What is SARAI?

Project SARAI (Smarter Approaches to Reinvigorate Agriculture as an Industry) aims to craft crop advisories which are targeted for rice, corn, banana, coconut, coffee, cacao, sugarcane, soybean, and tomato. The crop advisories focus on integrating local weather data and drought forecast with farm management activities, specifically nutrient and water management, and proactive pest and disease monitoring.

Smart Farming

Smart farming is the use of technology, such as sensors, data analytics, and automation, to optimize agricultural practices. It involves monitoring and managing farm activities in real-time to increase efficiency, reduce resource waste, improve yields, and make farming more sustainable by leveraging tools like precision agriculture, drones, and artificial intelligence.

Farming & Weather

In farming, weather is a big part of every decision. From planting to harvesting and everything in between, knowing the weather helps farmers do their job well. As weather patterns keep changing, When farmers use weather information, they can grow healthy crops and help feed our communities. That’s why understanding the weather isn’t just helpful—it’s essential

SARAI in Trento

In our ongoing campaign to uplift local communities through sustainable innovation, we are proud to highlight a recent joint project with our local government unit (LGU) of Trento, Agusan del Sur—a successful initiative aimed at helping farmers improve their productivity and embrace smart agriculture practices.

This collaborative effort marks a significant step forward in strengthening the agricultural sector. Through the project’s various components—including training programs, access to digital tools, and field demonstrations—the local government of Trento represented by Mayor Willian E. Calvez together with the municipal agriculture specialists recognized its value early on and played a vital role in its implementation.

Thanks to this strong partnership, local farmers can now look forward for the improved knowledge and tools that help them monitor crop health, manage resources more efficiently, and make data-driven decisions. These advancements not only increase yields but also promote sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and local livelihoods.

We are grateful to the LGU for their trust and support, and even more inspired by the enthusiasm and adaptability shown by the farmers themselves. Their willingness to innovate and learn has been the true driving force behind this project’s success.
