AGROPEDIA - One Stop for all Agricultural Needs

Abstract

In India, more than half of the workforce is employed in agriculture and related sectors, which account for around 17 percent of the country's Gross Value Added (GVA). In India, 60–70% of the workforce is employed in agriculture directly or indirectly. Given the importance of food to human existence, it is always difficult to produce food profitably, efficiently, and with minimum land usage. The project's approach offers farmers a one-stop shop for all of their agricultural requirements. It uses a crop forecast system, a weather analysis model, information about government programmes, a system for renting equipment, and a system for analysing market prices. The system for renting out tools that has been developed here gives users the option of lending out their unused agricultural equipment in order to generate passive money from it. The farmer may make a claim for crop insurance or during crop losses with the aid of proper understanding of these programmes. The farmers are informed by our model, which is now in use, about potential future market price patterns.
