The “FarmLog” is an app based digital tool designed to integrate farm level data into digital MRV system for promotion and adoption of low emission cultivation practices. This apart, the data generated from the app will help generate feedback for the farmers toward better management practices. These unique features of this app foster an efficient and seamless MRV system for promotion and adoption of low emission cultivation practices and the welfare and empowerment of farmers in India.
