There is an absence of an application that connects consumers with farmers in a transparent and direct manner. Hence, we decided to build an application connecting farmers with consumers facilitating the chain of buying and selling.
Krishi Brahmand with its main motto of “Fresh from Farm to Plate” achieves the goal of providing farmers with better opportunities to showcase their produce and pocket a higher remuneration. Its main aim is to do away with the several layers of middlemen between the farmer and the consumer. The project allows farmers to upload details, view product statistics, track various shipments and pickups of orders and receive payment online.
The ease of transaction and the sheer availability of choices alone ensures a wide user reach. This in turn assists farmers in increasing their profit just at the click of a button. Along with these functionalities Krishi Brahmand also provides farmers with a safe space to educate themselves on Government schemes and receive the appropriate assistance they require.
Thus, this project aims to help farmers achieve their true potential without the need of being dependent on intermediaries.
Figuring out MongoDB CRUD operations, FB queries was a bit of a challenge which we figured out in time. We faced some issues implementing the PWA feature as well but overcame it after further research. Another hurdle was also encountered while improving the UI of our website. The UI had to be kept in reference to the theme “Cosmos” and also relevant to our application “Krishi Brahmand”. After some experimenting we came up with an amazing UI, which also had constellations in the background!
