Farmer's Guide App

What it does

Our project targets smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa, who often face significant challenges due to crop diseases, unpredictable weather patterns, and limited access to reliable farming information. These farmers frequently suffer severe yield losses—sometimes as high as 100%—due to undiagnosed crop diseases, lack of timely weather updates, and outdated farming practices. These difficulties directly threaten their livelihoods and contribute to food insecurity in their communities.

Our solution is a cutting-edge platform powered by AI and the Gemini framework, designed to provide farmers with real-time, actionable insights. By allowing farmers to upload photos of their crops, the platform can instantly detect diseases, offering accurate diagnoses that help prevent devastating yield losses. The platform also delivers localized weather forecasts, enabling farmers to make informed decisions about planting and harvesting times. Additionally, it provides personalized farming tips tailored to each user's specific needs and regional conditions.

This solution directly addresses the challenges faced by smallholder farmers, leading to increased crop yields, improved food security, and greater economic stability. By empowering farmers with the tools and knowledge they need, our platform fosters sustainable agricultural practices, ultimately bringing about positive change in their lives and contributing to the broader goal of reducing poverty and hunger.
