Abstract: The present invention discloses AgriWaste Nexus, an integrated intelligent web-based platform for smart agricultural waste management designed to address the twin challenges of open crop residue burning and missed economic opportunities in Indian farming communities. The platform comprises six tightly integrated modules: a Waste Calculator and Biogas/Biochar Estimation Engine that computes crop-specific residue biomass, biogas output, biochar yield, and energy equivalents from farmer-supplied inputs; a Carbon Credits Computation and Tracking Module that derives CO2 avoidance equivalents and maintains cumulative credit records per farmer; an Agricultural Waste Marketplace enabling geo-aware matching between farmers and verified biogas, biochar, and biomass buyers; a Geo-Located Biomass Plant Locator for discovering certified processing facilities by proximity and type; a Digital Farmer Identity (Farmer ID) System that generates a QR-linked, downloadable digital credential dynamically encoding the farmer's environmental contributions; and Kisan Mitra, a multilingual AI-powered advisory chatbot capable of responding to agricultural queries in English, Hindi, and Marathi. All modules are unified under a single farmer authentication and profile framework, with computation outputs persisted and aggregated in real time on a personalised dashboard. The platform is implemented as a progressive web application on a Nextjs/React stack, deployed on cloud infrastructure, and designed to be accessible on standard devices across rural and semi-urban environments. The invention directly targets the reduction of agricultural open burning, promotes circular economy principles in farm waste management, enables carbon credit income for small and marginal farmers, and provides a government-aligned digital identity infrastructure for environmental accountability in Indian agriculture.
