Public programs in India are using AI-powered weather and crop forecasts to reach tens of millions of farmers.
AIM for Scale supports governments that want to put AI to work at national scale. In India, that has meant delivering forecasts and advisories to tens of millions of farmers — on weather, planting windows, and crop risk.
Public systems, not one-off apps
The value is not a single download. It is whether a ministry can send timely, local information through channels farmers already use, then improve the service as more data comes in.
Why scale matters
A tool that helps a few thousand farmers is a start. A system that reaches 38 million can change how a country manages climate risk and agricultural productivity.
The foundation partners with public agencies and technical teams so these services stay grounded in real farms — and keep expanding to people who need them most.
