Farm Rescue

An agriculture app named “FarmRescue” where farmers upload crop photos, get instant AI diagnosis, and connect to live experts for guidance. Include: login, problem submission, AI disease detection, expert chat/video call, daily follow-up tracking, pay-after-solution system, local language support, farmer dashboard, expert dashboard, and admin panel. Design must be simple and farmer-friendly.

Challenges we ran into

Logistics and Timing Pressures

Farms operate on tight, non-negotiable schedules. • Planting and harvest windows are short. • Weather can shift suddenly. • Farmers often need help immediately after an injury, illness, or disaster.

Coordinating volunteers, large equipment, fuel, and travel across multiple states with these constraints is one of their toughest challenges.

⸻

1. Volunteer Availability & Training

Farm Rescue relies heavily on volunteers. • Volunteers come from many backgrounds; some are experienced farmers, others are not. • Matching the right people to the right tasks — and ensuring safety — takes time and coordination. • Demand for help sometimes outpaces available volunteers during peak seasons.

⸻

1. Equipment & Maintenance

Large agricultural equipment is: • expensive • complex to operate • expensive to haul long distances • vulnerable to breakdowns

Farm Rescue depends on donated or loaned machinery, meaning they have to manage maintenance, transport, and availability.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building an app for the farmers.
