Abstract

Agro Buddy is a mobile application that aims to support farmers in managing crop diseases and pests. It offers a comprehensive knowledge base that includes traditional remedies and sustainable pest control methods, providing farmers with innovative solutions to reduce their reliance on chemical pesticides. By incorporating traditional remedies and sustainable pest control methods, the app helps farmers adopt eco-friendlier and cost-effective practices. Additionally, the app is designed with a user-centered approach, incorporating feedback from farmers and ensuring that the interface is easy to use and understand. Agro Buddy is particularly beneficial for smallholder farmers, who often lack access to precision agriculture technologies and AI-powered crop management systems. By providing a cost-effective and accessible solution, the app helps bridge the gap between smallholder farmers and innovative farming practices. Moreover, Agro Buddy has the potential to increase the adoption of sustainable crop management practices, reducing the environmental impact of agriculture and contributing to a more sustainable future. Overall, Agro Buddy represents an innovative and sustainable solution to crop management. By incorporating traditional remedies, sustainable pest control methods, and cutting-edge AI-powered algorithms, the app empowers farmers to make informed decisions and adopt more eco-friendly and cost-effective practices. It has the potential to revolutionize the agriculture industry and contribute to a more sustainable future.
