Reducing farm financial vulnerability in India
01 Oct 2018to31 Aug 2020
Project description

Business activities: Economic development

The project aims to address the problem of farm financial vulnerability in India. The project is proposed to be implemented in three phases: 1.) To develop a tool through which farmers have access to information on all uncertain conditions affection crop production. 2.) Developing a platform where farmers can systematically use that information to take prudent decisions concerning their crop portfolio. 3.) Testing to what extent the tool helps farmers cope up with uncertainty. I am still at the nascent stage and require help and expertise in working on the first two phases.

Applied Mathematician

The role requires converting the abstract framing of the model to a concrete mathematical one. Expertise in bayesian inference and machine learning would be really valued. The schedule is to meet once a week, preferably on Monday to discuss the development of the model.
