Detailed Description

This project focuses on improving traditional farming practices in Mundapar village, Seoni District, Madhya Pradesh, where paddy and wheat are the primary crops. Through field visits, interviews, and co-creation with farmers, the study identified challenges in resource management, scheduling, and soil data integration due to reliance on conventional methods. To address these issues, a farmer-centric mobile application was developed, enabling users to digitally map their fields, integrate soil health card data, plan activities, and manage resources efficiently. The participatory design process, conducted in three stages—research, prototyping, and testing—ensured that the application aligns with farmers’ needs, offering a practical and accessible digital tool to enhance productivity and sustainability in rural agriculture.
