| dc.description.abstract | La COVID-19 ha tenido un impacto desproporcionado en la población de Tamil Nadu, un estado en la costa sureste de la India. El cuarenta por ciento de la población cultiva tierras con un tamaño promedio de 5 acres. El número de camioneros disponibles para entregar productos agrícolas desde las granjas a los mercados se ha reducido considerablemente debido a las restricciones y al temor a la transmisión de la COVID-19. Muchos mercados regionales también han cerrado debido al temor a la COVID-19. Como resultado, los agricultores se ven obligados a vender sus productos localmente a precios sustancialmente más bajos, lo cual resulta insostenible para proporcionar un ingreso básico. Incluso antes de la COVID-19, el pequeño tamaño de las granjas indias no propiciaba economías de escala, inversiones en equipos y tecnología ni eficiencias en la cadena de suministro. Los agricultores también tienen una capacidad limitada para incorporar tecnología debido a la falta de educación y recursos. Las mejoras en la cadena de suministro agrícola en la India son fundamentales, tanto durante la COVID-19 como para construir un futuro más sostenible para los agricultores. Este documento propone un Sistema Logístico para la Microagricultura que aprovecha las tecnologías existentes para facilitar el transporte y la distribución a través de una infraestructura comunitaria. La solución aumentará la eficiencia al conectar a los conductores con los agricultores, identificará modos de transporte alternativos, reducirá el desperdicio y realizará pagos digitales a lo largo de la cadena de valor. | en_US |

| dc.description.abstractenglish | COVID-19 has had a disproportionate impact on the people of Tamil Nadu - a state on the southeast coast of India. Forty percent of the population farms land that is 5 acres in size on average. The pool of available truck drivers to deliver produce from farms to markets has shrunk substantially due to restrictions and fears of COVID transmission. Many regional markets have also closed due to COVID fears. As a result, farmers are forced to sell their produce locally at substantially lower prices, that are unsustainable in providing basic income. Even prior to COVID, the small size of Indian farms are not conducive for economies of scale, equipment/technology investments or supply chain efficiencies. Farmers also have limited ability to engage technology due to a lack of education and resources. Improvements to the agriculture supply chain in India are critical, both during COVID and in order to build a more sustainable future for farmers. This paper proposes a Micro Agriculture Logistics System which leverages existing technologies to facilitate transportation and distribution through a community-based infrastructure. The solution will increase efficiencies in connecting drivers with farmers, identify alternative transportation modes, decrease spoilage, and digitally deliver payments throughout the value chain. | en_US |
