Students develop ‘Mother Nature’ app to aid farmers, trials in India begin

• Students from North Carolina State University create "Mother Nature" app to aid struggling farmers
• App features AI Chatbot for farming advice, weather updates, and news tailored to user's location
• Testing in Telangana and Andhra regions with plans for nationwide expansion to support farmers

Students from the Dreamers & Data Organization at North Carolina State University in America have come up with an innovative solution to help struggling farmers. They've developed an app called Mother Nature, led by Sripad Ganti, a freshman Statistics Major at NCSU, along with his team. Their aim is to use data science to tackle real-world issues, particularly in agriculture.

Mother Nature is designed to assist farmers by providing them with valuable information and support. It features an AI Chatbot trained on farming data, which communicates with users through Open AI’s API. The app offers insights into modern farming techniques, answers to questions, weather updates, and farming-related news tailored to the user’s location. Additionally, farmers can create profiles and connect with each other, fostering a collaborative community.

Currently, the app is undergoing testing primarily in the Telangana and Andhra regions of India. However, the Dreamers & Data Organization envisions expanding its reach across the country. They believe that as the challenges faced by farmers grow, solutions like Mother Nature can play a crucial role in supporting them.
