💡 The Story Behind It
The Problem: Agriculture is the backbone of the economy, yet farmers are often the last to receive AI benefits. Delayed advice and misidentified crop diseases cause billions in losses annually.
The Mission: Remove the “middleman” from information. By putting AI directly in the farmer’s hands, we reduce uncertainty and turn reactive farming into proactive farming.
