🎯 What is FarmEyes?

FarmEyes is an AI application that helps African farmers identify crop diseases and get treatment recommendations in their native languages. Simply upload a photo of your crop, and FarmEyes will:

  1. Detect the disease using computer vision (YOLOv11)
  2. Diagnose the condition with severity assessment
  3. Translate all information to your preferred language
  4. Chat with an AI assistant for follow-up questions

πŸ† About

FarmEyes was built for the Awarri Developer Challenge 2025 to address the critical need for accessible agricultural AI in Africa.

The Problem:

  • 20-80% crop losses annually due to diseases
  • Only 1 extension worker per 10,000 farmers (FAO recommends 1:1,000)
  • Agricultural knowledge locked in English

Our Solution:

  • AI-powered disease detection accessible via smartphone
  • Native language support through N-ATLaS
  • Practical, localized treatment recommendations
