Kisaan Academy Development for BUILD4BETTER Hackathon

A unified web platform built for the BUILD4BETTER Hackathon, designed to empower small and medium-scale farmers in Pakistan with data, knowledge, and direct support to address market volatility, inefficient resource management, and limited access to modern farming techniques.

Key features:

Learning Hub: A free library of interactive courses on modern farming, soil testing, and financial literacy — available in Urdu and regional languages

Market Intelligence Hub: Live price tracking for wholesale (mandi) markets plus AI-driven demand forecasting to help farmers plan crops for better returns

AI-Powered Support: A 24/7 "Agri-Bot" (powered by Google's Gemini API) answering questions on crop diseases, market prices, and sustainable practices in local languages, paired with real-time weather and pest alerts

Sustainable Practices Wiki: Step-by-step guides on sustainable waste management (e.g., composting crop residue) and resource calculators to optimize water and fertilizer use

The platform aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, including Zero Hunger, Decent Work & Economic Growth, and Responsible Consumption & Production — aiming to create real digital infrastructure impact for Pakistan's agricultural sector.
