According to FAO in 2050 we will be 10 billion people and 1 billion people will starve. It scares us!! Our team was formed on the day of the event, because after small interactions we realized that we had a common goal to improve life on our planet by popularizing agriculture and helping to end hunger on our planet.

What it does

Traditional agriculture will not alone be able to solve the problem of food shortages in the world, but with the help of the Space Beans and the Daily Crop, this is possible as we will popularize urban agriculture and help the world's small food producers become more efficient. With only 1m² per urban dweller we can produce up to 6% of the food needed and with the use by small producers we can increase their production by 20% reducing the use of water resources and improving the quality of production and profitability of small farmers in the world.

Through personalized guidance provided by the DailyCrop platform for each location of the land we will allow urban farmers to produce a portion of their food in their homes, with guidance on management from planting, irrigation, crop treatment and harvesting. With data from the platforms provided by NASA we will, through predictive models, be able to guide when and how much to irrigate, predict disease outbreaks through local weather conditions, and advise on preventive treatments with home remedies like vinegar for example. That way even those who don't know about agriculture will be able to produce tomatoes, lettuce, carrots and many other vegetables in an organic and healthy way.

NASA Resources

To feed the predictive data we will use weather data provided by platforms such as ECOSTRESS and SMAP.

These platforms daily monitor weather conditions, humidity, evapotranspiration, soil moisture and plant stress locally with a 30 x 30 grid for sufficiently accurate prescriptions.

With this we can estimate the need for water for plants as well as susceptibility to diseases and pests.

Future Plans

As a future, we intend to turn the WEB platform into a smartphone application, making it easier to access and incorporating tools such as the use of images to recognize plants, diseases and pests. In addition to being more practical for use.

We also glimpse some types of future automations, such as irrigation and shadow control.

Built With

So far our MVP has been made with the Bootstrap framework and the PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript programming languages.

In addition to Microsoft Office tools (Power Point, Excel and Word) to support ideation, brainstorming, registration and presentations.
