Agromet Advisory Services (AAS) are crucial for agricultural planning and adaptation<br />

responses. Earlier, farmers could predict the arrival <strong>of</strong> monsoons based on their past<br />

experiences; now, changing climate makes it challenging to make predictions based on<br />

experiences alone (Wang et al. 2022). Therefore, reliable forecasts <strong>of</strong> weather events are<br />

needed on short and long-time scales to minimize agriculture losses. Adopting technological<br />

innovations is one <strong>of</strong> the most promising and investigated ways to adapt to climate change<br />

(Lybbert and Sumner 2012). At the same time, it builds the capacity <strong>of</strong> communities and<br />

individuals to plan and implement adaptive responses in the face <strong>of</strong> changing climate. There<br />

are quite a few methods to disseminate the advisories to the farmers; however, Watershed<br />

Organisation Trust (WOTR) undertook an action research project where a mobile<br />

application was developed to provide farm-level agro-advisory services to farmers. This<br />

study was undertaken with objective to measure the impact <strong>of</strong> the FarmPrecise mobile app<br />

on reducing the climate-induced losses <strong>of</strong> agrarian communities through specific indicators.<br />

Institutional and policy innovations for accelerated and enhanced impacts<br />
