FarmWise: Your Smart Farming Companion

Abstract: Modern agriculture faces challenges ranging from unpredictable weather patterns and pest outbreaks to fluctuating market demands and the impacts of climate change. Farmers require reliable, accessible, and intelligent tools to make informed decisions quickly. This paper presents FarmWise — a prototype web platform designed as a smart farming companion. The platform integrates an AI chatbot, crop health scanner preview, weather updates, a trending agriculture news feed, and a farmer’s market interface. Developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and powered by free APIs, FarmWise demonstrates how even foundational AI-enabled solutions can enhance decision-making, improve crop health monitoring, and connect farmers with essential market and weather data.The system prioritizes usability and scalability, with features optimized for seamless interaction across various devices. Although currently operating with limited AI capabilities, the platform sets the stage for future integration of advanced analytics, including yield prediction, pest detection, and precision resource management. By bridging information gaps and delivering actionable insights, FarmWise contributes to the ongoing transformation toward data-driven, sustainable agriculture.
