Description
Summary:	For centuries, the economy of Sri Lanka has been backed by the agricultural sector. Even though it has contributed to the development of the nation on a large scale, the economies and living standards of the farmers have not been improved much. Most of the farmers remain poor mainly due to not knowing the market demand and the low buying prices of the middleman. Meanwhile, the consumers in Sri Lanka are buying non-organic vegetables and fruits which are highly contaminated with dangerous chemicals which in turn has contributed to the rapidly increasing non-communicable disease rates in both consumers and farmers. The proposed system is an attempt to solve these problems faced by both farmers and consumers by reducing the farmers-consumer knowledge gap and providing consumers a trustworthy and personalized subscription for organic vegetables/fruits with a donation platform.
