Agroxpert - Farmer assistant

Abstract

Agriculture occupies an important position in the Indian economy. Indian farmers today are facing the problem of low income due to the lack of information about government schemes, fertilizers, farming equipment etc. Some smallholders and marginalized farmers have low awareness as most of them live in remote areas and don't have access to information about soil properties, seeds, recently used tools, fertilizers, etc. The document proposes an intelligent, portable system that uses natural language processing methods to help farmers use different farming methods, and further help them to answer their queries and solve their basic and intermediate level doubts using chatbot which will save their time. To meet all the requirements of farmers, a chatbot is proposed using natural language processing technology. The system will act as an interactive virtual assistant for farmers, answering all queries related to agriculture. This paper will go through the implementation of the chatbot using the chatterbot libraries and Django framework.
