Farmer Buddy: Smart Farming
If you’ve ever interacted with farmers or Agritech teams, you already know the biggest problem is not lack of data. It’s complexity. Most farming platforms are packed with charts and reports, but very few actually help with daily decisions.
That’s where Farmer Buddy comes in.
Farmer Buddy is a full-stack JSP-based smart farming web application built to support real, everyday agricultural workflows. Instead of focusing only on reports, this project focuses on what farmers actually need in 2026: simplicity, clarity, and useful actions.
Project tutorials, coding guides & placement tips for students.
Why Farmer Buddy?
Many existing farming tools behave like dashboards you look at once and forget. They show data, but they don’t guide action.
- Farmer Buddy was designed with a different mindset
- Practical features
- Real database-driven data
- Lightweight JSP architecture
The goal was to build a system that feels modern but still easy to use for non-technical users, especially farmers managing daily operations.
