Goodleaf is a project by YSC to help farmers all over the world by bringing them closer to each other.
This notebook only cantains the machine learning part of the whole project. Please refer to the other Github repo for web app. Link
This model was trained in kaggle and uses one of the dataset of kaggle. The link for dataset is provided within the notebook.
According to FAO, more than 60% of the world's population depends on agriculture for survival. When we say it depends on agriculture we mean it depends on farmers, Farmers have been the backbone of our world. However after extensive research no any web portal was found that could link farmers around the world virtually the way we will do now, this was a significant problem as this would create boundaries and distance within farmers. To tackle this problem we came up with the idea of Goodleaf, we believe that it will be a global platform for farmers to come together and help each other. In the coming days: The site will also look forward to coordinating with various agricultural experts around the world, allowing free consultation services to farmers by experts, providing quick, efficient and effective services to the farmers. In many parts of the world, the farmers do not get effective crop production due to a lack of timely consultancy and growing process. This site can help combat this problem and ultimately improve agriculture globally.
The cherry on the top about our web app is that we can detect the diseases in the plant from the image of leaves and provides the name of the disease, its symptoms and remedy. It also aggregates other related posts in the forums belonging to the category of that specific plant and hence we increase the efficiency of our search system too.
Farmers globally can interact understanding each other's areas' plant species . Along with farming , this can also , in coming times be developed as a portal for Animal Husbandry , Dairy , Interactions thus giving back to the community a lot of learnings , agriculture related career trainings and ultimately , becoming a shared platform for all the farmers as well as aspirants in the farming sector.
The cutting edge deep learning model is at the heart of Goodleaf. It takes the advantages of transfer learning to classify diseased and healthy leaves into 38 categories (which will surely increase in near future) with high accuracy. Not just classify but it also provides solutions to the problems within a few seconds. Also, it aggregates other posts in the forum belonging which belong to the category of the classified leaf.
But even an impressive technology like this is nothing without an easy to use and pleasant User Interface. So the UI for Goodleaf is specially built the way it is so that everyone can use it. The UI is very intuitive that everyone can wrap their head around it easily.But still it has got few issues in being a responsive webapp.
Another major feature of the Goodleaf is it’s simple yet very informative forums. I personally think it is the best part about Goodleaf. The best person who could help you in the time of trouble is a fellow person who does the same thing as you do in day to day life. This feature enables farmers from different geographical features, climate, and most importantly knowledge and experience level to connect with each other. Not only farmers even people belonging to other profession doing farming in their roof tops and in other ways can benefit out of this forum.
Features of Goodleaf.
- Desease Detection.
- Gives Solutions and Remidies.
- Helpfull and active community.
- Promotion variation in agricultural sector through learnings of different ways of agriculture.
- The inexperienced and new farmers can get a lot of consultings from the experienced ones.
Project is: in progress-constantly updating-meeting the needs of farmers all over the world
We are developers from Nepal and our country Nepal is a agriculture based country with over 63% of our economy directly or indirectly depending on Agricilture, Even so we found that there is no proper platform for farmers to discuss their condition, problems and communicate with each other. With the aim to make Farming more efficient we started this project.
