AgriTech Android App Concept: AI Crop Suggestions & Farmer Support #4140
Description
Overview
This issue proposes the design and development of an Android application focused on AgriTech and rural transformation. The app should provide:
- Crop suggestions based on weather reports and location (integrating a weather API, preferably Google)
- AI-powered support for farmer queries and photo recognition (soil/plant health, disease, agricultural advice)
- Secure user authentication for farmers
- Modular backend (Python or Node.js) for maintainability and future enhancement
- Placeholder for one-to-one mentorship system (to be defined and added later)
- UI/UX based on best practices, open for future feedback and revision
Goals
- Boost farmer income through precision farming & fintech integration
- Improve water management and supply chains
- Support rural enterprises and digital empowerment
Next Steps
- Define crop recommendation logic and data sources
- Set up initial backend and weather API integration
- Research and prototype AI image recognition for plant/soil health
- Design authentication workflow
- Prepare modular codebase for extension (AI, mentorship, etc.)
This issue maintains all context from previous discussions and is intended to guide the initial design and requirements gathering for the AgriTech app concept. Please provide feedback, further requirements, or clarifications as needed.
