Problem statement
The problem at hand is the challenge that farmers and gardeners face in determining the most suitable crops to grow in a specific area, considering factors like soil type, climate, and local conditions. Planting the wrong crops can lead to poor yields, wasted resources, and economic losses. Traditional trial-and-error methods are inefficient and may not optimize the use of land and resources.
Proposed solution
GardenWise offers a data-driven and user-friendly solution for crop selection and farming planning by leveraging modern technology and data analysis. Here's how we plan to address this problem:
- Data Analysis: OptiGrow will use different data, such as soil type, pH levels, local climate data, and geographical information, which are essential for crop suitability. These data sources will be combined to create a comprehensive understanding of the farming environment.
- Recommendations: Based on these gathered data, the application will provide personalized recommendations on the best crops for the specified area.
EU space technologies
We intent to use data available by the Copernicus programme. Some data will be gathered from other sources, specifically data about soil type.
