The platform features an integrated system comprising a farmer registration database, an automated disease monitoring engine, an expert advisory module, and a transparent market connectivity interface. To bridge the digital divide in rural communities, the system utilizes a multi-channel communication framework that pushes real-time disease risk warnings, feeding instructions, and live cocoon prices across interactive web dashboards, automated SMS, and voice-call IVR systems. The proposed invention reduces manual oversight confusion, mitigates severe crop losses from disease outbreaks, stabilizes farming family livelihoods, and increases market transparency within rural agricultural sectors.
