Design X Social ’22
Empowering The Farmers
Project Summary
Problem Identified
How the farmers can find a way to sell their highly perishable fruits and vegetables to those who are in need and also make some profit during the lockdown ?
Design Innovation
Digital arrangements for selling vegetables with the help of agencies, Organization and farmers where the Organization will be middleman Vegetables, and fruits with low lifespan will be transported using cold storage system. Token system will be provided to each farmer for security purpose. And since there is a pricing problem, only when the farmer finalises the price and collects the price from the agency, the goods can be sold. When the farmers notify the organization either through phone call or digital methods, the organization makes necessary arrangements for the transportation depending on the the goods quantity
Impact On The Society
Problem: Until the agency confirms the price, farmers have to wait which would take quite a long time Solution: where the slots will be booked digitally and the amount confirmation message will be sent via app or phone call. Once the farmer accepts the amount, it will be transferred from the agency to farmer’s account and that way we can save some amount of time Problem: Possibilities of farmer’s ID being misusedSolution : QR Code scanning system which will be scanned by the police and gives access to transportation. It also avoids the misuse of ID Problem: Keeping low lifespan vegetables fresh Solution : We have introduced cold storage system. It keeps the low lifespan vegetables at the temperature we set and also keeps them fresh and makes them last longer Problem: Small vendors / Retailer not able to find transportation Solution: We have introduced cold/warm storage type of vehicle renting system. It helps them to relocate the commodities to fulfill the demands
