This unique initiative has incorporated the WFH [work-from-home] model for Lenovo volunteers monitoring the project. These volunteers can work from anywhere to support the project. They have developed an app and a database that allows farmers to make better decisions based on data. Importantly, this data helps in making decisions during both rain and sunshine.
