Such a platform would 1.Offer real-time consulting to farmers on pest control , timely harvest and seed management, guidance efficient utilization of scarce resources like water and fuel. 2. Connect the farmers for sharing experiences as well as a resources among themselves. 3.Act as a efficient "farmer networking" platform for real-time collaboration and get them connected to the external world(market, potential service providers and consumers) and bring in the needed level of transparency. 4.enable them to make informed decision for example on choosing the right crops at the right time, making decisions on the right precautions and backup plans. 5.Establish the security and trust on agriculture and sustainable business venture. 6.create the awareness
