A Way To Make The Farmers Grow And Let Them Grow
The problem AgriTrack solves
Many farmers in India, especially in rural areas, struggle to access or even know about the various government subsidies and schemes available to them. This is due to:
-
Complex documentation
-
Language and literacy barriers
-
Lack of transparency
-
Middlemen and officials misguiding or exploiting them
What People Can Use It For
-
Ask questions in English or Hinglish about subsidy schemes
-
Get answers in simple language, explained like a friend would
-
Understand eligibility and how to apply for subsidies
-
Track interactions using Stellar blockchain, so no info gets lost or misused
-
Receive updates using Fluvio, keeping both farmers and authorities in sync
Challenges I ran into
-
API Integration Confusion:
Connecting to Groq's API with the right headers and prompt formatting took multiple tries. At first, responses weren’t coming in the format I expected. I had to carefully tweak the prompt structure and handle different response types (JSON vs natural language) with fallback logic. -
CORS and Hosting Issues:
While testing on my local frontend and backend, I ran into CORS errors that blocked requests. Switching between localhost, Netlify, and Render made it tricky. I resolved this by enabling CORS in Express and clearly separating production and development environments. -
Stellar Complexity:
Stellar’s blockchain setup for storing immutable records was a bit overwhelming at first. I had to understand how to structure transactions in a farmer-friendly way. Watching community tutorials and reading the docs really helped.
