FarmHub
-
We interviewed 20 farmers in local villages around Puri(Orissa)
-
We discovered three things:
-
They had a variety of unheard problems
-
They had no access to internet
-
They had first generation mobile phones covered by GSM network.
-
-
We designed a fully functional system operated through SMS that
-
would present relevant online information to farmers on demand
-
and provide them a platform to be heard
-
Here's How it Works
-
Farmers type “weather” and send an SMS to @Farmhub[placeholder] and they are supplied with the next 10 days weather report.
-
Farmers type “news” and send an SMS to @Farmhub[placeholder] and get retrieved farming news from leading farming websites.
-
Farmers could register their accounts, Post their grievances, get acknowledgement, replies etc. all via their simple text-based cell-phone SMS. The system classified grievances and directed them to right the right people who could be of best help, depending on location, profession etc.
