Abstract

This paper addresses the challenges faced by farmers in accessing and utilizing technology for informed decision-making and sustainable agricultural practices. This paper offers a comprehensive platform that integrates weather forecasting, agricultural videos, and a pest search database, providing farmers with a user-friendly and accessible tool to enhance their agricultural operations. The platform’s design prioritizes ease of use and caters to the specific needs of farmers, regardless of their technical expertise. By combining essential agricultural information and resources in one location, the Agri-Virtual Assistant empowers farmers to optimize their practices, improve productivity, and contribute to a more sustainable agricultural landscape.
