Climate-Smart Technology Implementation-Smart Weather Station

The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) installed FAHFON SENSE smart weather stations in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, to address drought vulnerability in rice farming. The project established two pilot sites—one with irrigation and one relying on precipitation—to test the technology's effectiveness. Farmers and stakeholders from Laos received training on using a mobile application to monitor real-time environmental data, including rainfall, temperature, and CO2 levels, to optimize irrigation and crop management.

• Two pilot sites were established in Nakhon Ratchasima province to test climate-smart technologies under different water conditions: one in Sung Noen District, which has irrigation access, and one in Non Kra Sang village, Phimai District, which depends entirely on precipitation.
• The project deployed the FAHFON SENSE weather station from CPS Agri Company Limited, selected for its ability to provide real-time, high-precision data on parameters such as rainfall, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, barometric pressure, light intensity, UV Index, dust concentrations, and carbon dioxide levels.
• The technology utilizes a user-friendly application that provides data updates every half hour and a seven-day location-tailored forecast, enabling farmers to use graphical visualizations to improve irrigation, planting, and harvesting decisions.
• To foster regional cooperation in the Lancang-Mekong Region, SEI included stakeholders from Laos—including representatives from the National Agriculture and Forestry Research Institute of Laos and the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology—in the installation and training process to encourage the adoption of these technologies in Laos.
