What is the Project about?
Mynzo Carbon envisions a world where individuals, enterprises, and institutions collectively achieve Net
Zero emissions to combat climate change. By providing tools that track carbon emissions, encourage
habit-building for sustainable behavior, and support pathways toward a Net Zero future, Mynzo empowers people to take tangible climate action.
This project focuses on engagement approaches that use storytelling, stimulation, and gamification to inspire behavioral change toward sustainability.
Behavioral Change and Net Zero Goals
Behavioral change reshapes actions, attitudes, and habits for wellbeing and productivity.
In climate terms, it means actively reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Net Zero means fully offsetting human-produced greenhouse gases by combining reduction and carbon absorption.
Individual efforts must be supported by systemic climate action to be meaningful.
Target Audience
According to India’s Third Biennial Update Report to the UNFCCC (2021), nearly two-thirds of India’s population depend on agriculture and related services. This demographic represents a critical audience for climate resilience initiatives adopting sustainable farming practices and engaging in carbon emission reduction is essential to the overall Net Zero mission.
Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a vast network of interconnected physical devices that communicate and exchange data via the internet. In the context of sustainable farming, IoT enables real-time monitoring of environmental conditions, resource usage, and carbon emissions, providing actionable insights to optimize practices and reduce carbon footprints.
Strong communities are the backbone of sustainable change when people come together, share knowledge, and support each other, innovation thrives and barriers to progress fall.
Final Prototype
This prototype is designed as an intuitive extension within the Mynzo Carbon app, tailored specifically for farmers to seamlessly track their carbon emissions. Leveraging IoT technology and smart sensors, it provides real-time data that empowers farmers to monitor and reduce their environmental impact efficiently. The app’s user-friendly interface supports multiple Indian languages, ensuring accessibility and ease of use across diverse farming communities.
By combining advanced technology with inclusive design, this prototype aims to foster sustainable farming practices that contribute significantly to India’s journey toward a Net Zero future.
