Agvisely
Bangladesh
Agvisely helps extension agents and farmers in Bangladesh and South Asia to increase agricultural resilience to climate risks. The system integrates location-specific meteorological forecasts generated by the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) with thresholds for crucial whether variables. When a threshold is forecasted to be passed, an automatic system provides location-specific management advice for farmers. Advisories are based on the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council’s recommendations and are verified by the Department of Agricultural Extension. Feedback loops from extension agents improves future advice. The primary tool is a website, which 6,000 extension agents can access with tablets.
