Summary
Farm2Home is a proposed full-stack web application designed to address persistent challenges in India's agricultural supply chain by eliminating intermediaries and directly connecting farmers with consumers. The platform incorporates role-based access controls, inspection-driven quality assurance, and transparent pricing mechanisms to improve farmer livelihoods and consumer access to fresh produce. The authors position this as an e-agriculture strategy aligned with FAO and Indian digital agriculture initiatives, though the paper describes a technical implementation rather than empirical evaluation of market or health outcomes.
Regional applicability
This study focuses on India's agricultural context and the structural challenges of intermediary-driven supply chains, which differ substantially from United Kingdom food systems characterised by established supermarket networks and shorter supply chains. However, the digital marketplace concept and farmer empowerment principles may inform discussions of UK direct-to-consumer agricultural models and rural digital inclusion policy.
Key measures
Platform architecture and functional features (farmer empowerment mechanisms, quality assurance processes, pricing transparency, payment security)
Outcomes reported
The study presents Farm2Home, a proposed digital marketplace platform designed to connect farmers directly with consumers, eliminating intermediaries. The platform includes features for farmer profile verification, quality inspection, transparent pricing, and secure transactions through a full-stack web application.
