Creating a virtual platform to connect the farmers and buyers in accordance with demand & supply to make decision-making easier.

Our ultimate goal of the project is to enhance mitigation towards climate change through mobile application development to reduce post-harvest losses. To make it appealing to the target community, providing a simple & user-friendly interface was crucial. A first version was made in English, but a more inclusive one will also be released in the local languages. The application simplifies selling products by helping farmers identify buyers, thereby reducing useless transport among economic centers. Even small-scale and subsistence farmers will be able to sell their products through this app and also make decisions based on the trends of demand.
The impact of the application surpasses mere convenience. By avoiding futile transportation and the accompanying tonnes of vegetables that rot in dumping sites, greenhouse gas emissions are minimized. Farmers can adjust their production to actual demand on account of reduced wastages. Minimization of overproductions minimizes methane emissions even during the production process. Further, the application aids decision-making related to crop variety selection, cultivation, and harvesting, thereby increasing efficiency.
We hope to create partnerships with other organizations, like the Department of Agriculture, Sri Lanka, for expansion across the entire agriculture sector and local communities while adding value to climate change mitigation too.
