Integrated Smart Agriculture and Renewable Energy Management: AWD-Driven Carbon Sequestration and Solar PV Optimization in Rice Landscapes of the Philippines
Integrated Smart Agriculture and Renewable Energy Management: AWD-Driven Carbon Sequestration and Solar PV Optimization in Rice Landscapes of the Philippines
iSMART Rice is three-year research project under the DOST-JST joint research program on smart agriculture. The project aims to develop and implement an integrated smart agriculture and renewable energy system that optimizes water management, enhances soil carbon sequestration, and utilizes solar PV energy in rice landscapes, while assessing the socio-economic and environmental impacts of the technology in pilot sites in Japan and the Philippines.
Specific Objectives
Develop a smart AWD irrigation system using IoT sensors and AI-based control
Quantify soil carbon sequestration under AWD conditions using remote sensing and field sampling
Assess solar PV potential and optimize placement using geospatial modeling and climate data
Build an integrated decision-support system for water, carbon, and energy management
Evaluate socio-economic and environmental impacts in pilot sites in Japan and the Philippines.

Modeling and Impact Assessment of Solar Farm Expansion in Agricultural Areas Using Geomatics
Project No. 232316 PhDIA YEAR 1
Project No. 232316 PhDIA YEAR 1
This project entitled "Modeling and Impact Assessment of Solar Farm Expansion in Agricultural Areas Using Geomatics" is funded by the UP Diliman's Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Development under the Ph.D. Incentive Award. The objectives of the study are:
produce a solar PV suitability index to identify areas which have high potential for solar PV installation
predict areas which are most likely be converted to solar farms based on time-series analysis and machine learning algorithm
assess the costs and benefits of agricultural land conversion to solar farm
Project duration: 1.5 years
Period of implementation: Aug. 1, 2023 - Jan. 31, 2025
Project SINAG
Project SINAG
Project SINAG is a two-year research project under the Joint Research Project between the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) of the Philippines and the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) of the People's Republic of China. DOST is the funding agency of the Philippine counterpart.
The project has officially started on August 1, 2021 and is being implemented by the Training Center for Applied Geodesy and Photogrammetry and National Engineering Center. The project aims to accurately assess the potential output power that can be harnessed from Solar PV installations using remotely sensed data and forecasting model.
