| TITLE | Digital Ecosystem for Strengthening Farmer Empowerment and Equitable Agricultural Markets |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | Agriculture is an essential sector in countries like India, where many farmers depend on it for their livelihood. However, they often face problems such as limited access to markets, reliance on middlemen, unstable pricing, and lack of proper market information. These challenges lead to lower profits and inefficiencies in the agricultural system. This paper introduces a digital agriculture marketplace that enables direct interaction between farmers and consumers, helping to remove intermediaries and promote fair pricing. The platform provides important features such as farmer verification to ensure trust and a chatbot system to support communication and query resolution. It also uses data analytics to give insights into market trends and demand, allowing farmers to make better decisions. A farmer forum is included to encourage knowledge sharing. transparency, improves accessibility, and supports a more efficient and sustainable agricultural environment. |
