The ancients always said that the soil has a great effect on the human mind and calms the nerves. Did they know that because it was scientifically proven? No. They were so confident that they had a one-on-one experience.

When I was 6 years old, when my parents left me for a long time to live with my grandparents, I had experienced this magical power of the soil firsthand. If a little child's curiosity wasn't surprising, watching my grandmother plant beans in their garden and then wet the soil with my tiny hands and making mud cakes was one of the most enjoyable activities for me. I remember one day I asked grandma how she was so sure where to plant the beans. And she told me that's what his mother showed her. Time passed, I grew up, my grandmother grew old and her garden grew. Now she has to plant beans on land her mother never owned. The last time I visited her, I jokingly asked her how she knew where to plant it now. Before buying the land, she said, an agronomist came and tested the soil base and measured its productivity.

When I saw yours wandering through the hackathons on Devpost, I had almost no project idea. Like everyone else, I was aware of the problems in Africa. But I realized I wasn't thinking about any solutions before. So when I was lying in bed at night looking for a solution, I thought of this moment with my grandmother. I knew that the villages in the isolated corners of Africa have no opportunity to measure the productivity of the soil, so they can not get out of the soil their ancestors had left them which results in a lack of variety of food. So I am confident that our project SoilTester will make a huge change in their lives and improve their nutritional quality much more. Also considering that the majority of African people are illiterate, the SoilTester contains almost no writing and is designed to be as simple as possible.

If our project is chosen, you can be sure that we will work ceaselessly to bring Soiltester to life. Let us all work together to solve one of the problems of the people in Africa in the realization of this idea formed from the memory of a little child!
