Inspiration
Over 500 million smallholder farmers worldwide lack access to expert agricultural advice. They lose crops to diseases they can't identify and miss out on financing they don't know exists. I built FarmAid AI to change that.
What it does
FarmAid AI is a smart farming assistant that lets farmers chat in their own language to get instant advice on crop diseases, planting schedules, and microfinancing options. It supports English, Hindi, Swahili, Bengali, and Hausa — covering over 2 billion farmers across Asia and Africa.
How I built it
I built it using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with an AI-powered backend. The app is fully mobile-friendly and works on any smartphone.
Challenges I faced
Making the app work in 5 different languages while keeping it simple enough for farmers with basic phones was the biggest challenge.
What I learned
I learned that technology is most powerful when it reaches people who need it most.
