Collection + Verification

• VRPs record practice data via a mobile (built on Kobo/ODK). Form fields have been developed based on input requirements for climate models.

• Skilled Extension workers (SEWs) and Master Resource Persons (MRPs) along with DG team validate by falling calling and visiting farmers

• See data verification protocol for detail

• Evolve to a model where farmers self-report and VRPs validate through calls and field visits

• Leverage Kisan Diary for farmers self reporting practices

• Align VRP payments and performance management to accurate data collection

• Integrate third party datasets (eg, remote sensing) to reduce cost of validation while preserving accuracy

Storage

• Data captured via form is in a single table.

• See sample data file.

• Evaluate FarmOS as a back-end store

Integration and Visualization

• Re-structure data collected from the field so it can drive three models: DNDC, CoolFarmTool, CENTURY

• Publish model results in a dashboard

• Develop automated data pipelines for practice data collected in the field to the various climate models; look at complementary OpenTEAM efforts on this (FarmOS → COMET/ DNDC/ CFT)

Data Wallet

• Research to understand who will be consuming the data and user requirements around informed consent
