FARM TO FOLK

May 20, 2022

Mulling over issues confronting development and the spiralling financial misfortunes that plague impoverished rural farmers, Soham Modi, a student of class 12-C, created “Farm-to-Folk” a platform which serves to create a direct medium of exchange between the farmer and the customer, eliminating the middleman in the process. The farmers are able to register through the app or website and track their orders through it while the consumers can purchase directly through the app or the website. Consequently, farmers can sell their crops at a better price to the buyers directly without the hassle of intervening parties. However, the higher rates charged by the farmers are still significantly lesser than those charged by the middlemen. This works optimally- raising the income for the farmer and reducing the cost for the buyer, thus resulting in a win-win situation. Moreover, the consumers get fresher produce that is not hoarded in warehouses where it can go stale or get contaminated. This service makes use of the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna (PMKVY) to educate the farmers on the necessary skills needed to operate the app.
