Empowering Agricultural Communities by Sharing Reliable Knowledge to Foster Growth .
Made some new friends on this journey :)
Research
Data was collected through various mediums, including field observations, contextual inquiries, and interviews with key stakeholders, providing valuable insights into the latest trends and challenges in agriculture.
This included participation in industry meetups, site visits to farms and agricultural enterprises, attending workshops on agriculture education, a field trip facilitated by Field Atlas, visiting a local farmers market, monitoring social media channels of community farms, discussions with an ethnographer, and a meeting with a policy expert.
METHODOLOGY
Research conclusion
Networking plays a vital role in agriculture, fostering connections and knowledge exchange.
Those with a passion for agriculture can come together to connect, promote farm-related activities, and curate the latest industry discussions.
Online platforms could bridge gaps between industrial and community farmers, offering educational resources and facilitating resource exchange.
NEED to bring urban farms, community farms, indigenous agricultural practices and homegrowers under the expanding umbrella of agriculture.
Meet Okiki and what he values
Okiki joined the community farm as a farm directory
Technology is a barrier but it destroys the food accessibility ecosystem hence we like to keep things analogue that empower people to grow their own food.
WANTS
Cost-saving methods/solutions
Informed decision inhibitors
Improved resource availability
GOALS
Empower people to grow their own food
Stay authentic to the natural farming processes
Build a stronger, resilient community
Barriers to goals
No source of reliable knowledge transfer
Division Among Communities Pursuing the Same Food Grants
Challenges in Promoting Workshops and Events to a Wider Audience
Missed Crucial Information Results in Inefficacy of Food Programs
Farmers face uncertainty and risk due to a lack of information and resources, inadequate training and education, and unreliable sources of information.
Solution Design
Sharing on-farm knowledge is not only a lucrative source of income, but it also highlights the significance of indigenous farmers and their traditional practices.
My goal is to support agricultural communities and foster collaboration amongst farmers by providing reliable knowledge and generating income opportunities for sharing that knowledge.

Voice recordings by farmers
Voice recordings are converted to logs by AI, sorting and organizing information into necessary categories
Utilizing these logs, generative AI is able to provide quick statistics and answer questions posed by farmers based on user-generated content.

Concept Testing
Did you understand the purpose of this mobile application without any audio/video guide?
fIRST CLICKS HEATMAP
"The Bot" had the highest recall rate after a 5-second test, but heat maps revealed that users did not venture down that specific pathway.
impressions on users
The farmers anticipated that the application would provide updates regarding weather conditions, air quality, and other environmental factors relevant to farming.
Although the farmers recognized an image that provided valuable insights into farming practices, they were unable to specify what kind of information.
