FarmIQ is an AI-powered precision farming system designed to help farmers make smarter decisions using data, machine learning, and real-time environmental information.
The system focuses on improving crop health, optimizing irrigation and fertilizer usage, and increasing overall crop yield while reducing resource waste.
🎯 Currently focused on sugarcane cultivation — designed to be extended to other crops in the future.
Farmers commonly face the following challenges:
| Problem | Impact |
|---|---|
| Late detection of crop diseases | Widespread yield loss |
| Overuse or underuse of water | Resource waste & poor growth |
| Lack of real-time weather insights | Reactive, not proactive farming |
| Poor fertilizer management | Soil degradation & cost overrun |
| No centralized smart farming platform | Fragmented, inefficient decisions |
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 🌿 Crop Disease Prediction | AI-based early detection using image and weather data |
| ☁️ Weather-based Outbreak Prediction | Forecasts disease risks from climate patterns |
