: FarmConnect is a web-based platform created to bring farmers, compost vendors, and consumers together in one digital space. It allows farmers to sell fresh organic produce directly to customers, helping them earn fair prices by removing the need for middlemen. Compost vendors can easily showcase and manage their products like manure and fertilizers, while customers can browse and purchase from both farmers and vendors in a simple, user-friendly interface. Beyond being just a marketplace, FarmConnect also promotes learning. Farmers can upload tutorial videos to spread awareness and share knowledge about organic farming methods. The platform features a Community Hub where all users can interact, exchange ideas, share feedback, and discuss sustainable agriculture and composting practices. From a technical perspective, the platform is built using React.js for the frontend and Node.js with Express.js for the backend. It uses local JSON files to store data, making it lightweight and easy to manage. The system also includes secure login using JWT, supports file uploads, and provides role-based access for different users such as farmers, vendors, and customers. In essence, FarmConnect bridges the gap between producers and consumers while encouraging sustainable farming and digital empowerment in rural communities. It combines commerce, education, and community to create a connected and eco-friendly agricultural ecosystem.
