## 🎯 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

## 🏆 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
