FarmVille

Inspiration

The inspiration for FarmVille is derived from our own family history in agriculture. There are many farmers in India who struggle with their farming lifestyle as it isn't very promising. The farmers lifestyle is heavily dependent on how their crops do and how well they are able to sell in their peak harvesting season. Many farmers are bound to large corporations to provide them with raw materials. Many have issues with how less they are being compensated for their harvests because while the farmers get paid the minimum for their labored produce, the corporation goes on and sells the same products for a higher price giving them a large sum of profits. On the other hand smaller farms who don't have ties with anyone count on locals to buy their fresh products, while they are poorly advertised many don't make much revenue and in reality lose more money than they gain.

This is where FarmVille comes in, in today's day and age everyone has gadgets or has some method of access to the internet. FarmVille allows farmers to be their own small business owners and host a virtual store in the app/website. By consumers buying straight from the farmers the prices will be very reasonable. In the app consumers are encouraged to write reviews on the products they have bought. The strategy of this app is designed similar to that of Etsy.com.

What it does

It is an easily accessible website where farmers around the world can sell their fresh harvest to consumers for affordable and profitable prices. People around the world can also buy these fresh and healthy products from the comfort of their home. The consumers can easily select their region and a number of fresh products from various farmers that can ship these products directly home.

How we built it

We used our knowledge on HTML to code our website that is user friendly and easily navigable. This website is created in a way that can be accessed through various web browsers.

Challenges we ran into

Our initial challenge was coming up with the idea that would be easy to implement with our skill set. Some challenges we faced were coding various and complex ideas into HTML in such a short time. Time was our biggest problem even when our ideas were well formed.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our idea and thought that we came up to help the farmers to build better businesses and make their lives easier. We are happy that the app is structured well with various HTML functions that makes the website appealing and user friendly for farmers and consumers.

What we learned

We learned how to build a website from scratch using our HTML skills. We researched a lot about this topic and understood the various problems small businesses have.

What's next for FarmVille

FarmVille has the potential to be implemented all over the world, in today's world of getting shipping within 2 days from across the world it is highly possible for various farms from all over the world will be able to provide for families all over the world. In addition we want a variety of products available for our users where they can get all their groceries directly from the farmer.
