Challenge Overview

Welcome to "Living Progress - AgriUp - Responsive Farmer App UI Prototype Challenge". In this challenge, we need your help to create responsive HTML5 prototype for farmers where this apps will provides information/forecast/tips regarding their farming/agricultural condition that will be useful to improve their crops production and to avoid crop failures based on their location. Read more details below and Join with us NOW!!

Tips for Success: Asking questions early and getting Copilot or PM's feedback is very important for the success of this challenge.

Background information
In Guatemala, 5 million farmers lack access to location-specific weather information and thus suffer major losses to their crops. Information exists but is not conveyed in the right way and time. 

500 million people worldwide are smallholder farmers. They are a great asset of global agricultural economy, producing 80 % of the food consumed worldwide. However, they are living in very difficult conditions, and out of them about 400 million are among the poorest and hungriest people on the globe (half of the world's hungry people)
In many cases, such as in Guatemala, not only smallholder farmers do not produce any surplus for selling, but barely manage to sustain their families and often work another part-time job to survive.

Their crop production and their overall conditions could be drastically improved if they would have access to reliable, specific and updated information on weather and agriculture. Information about weather, for example, could help them take the right decisions and avoid heavy losses; actionable tips about agriculture could ensure they follow modern and effective techniques in agriculture, rather than relying only on traditional knowledge; information about prices could guarantee fair market conditions for their crops; nutritional advises could help them follow a more balanced diet preventing nutritional deficiencies.

Information about weather, agriculture, nutrition and market already exists, being produced by different stakeholders and sources in each country – national meteorological office, researchers, UN agencies, and NGOs. However, this information:
1) does not reach poor farmers 
2) is not in a format that can be easily understood by them. In the case of weather forecasts in Guatemala, for example, only a 30 % of farmers have access to generic sources of forecasts (radio or TV), far from being actionable or specific-enough for local microclimates.

Challenge Goals 
Create a user-friendly, low-bandwidth smartphone app / website providing location-specific information, including weather alerts, agricultural advice & nutrition tips

Focus Area :
Connectivity, Agriculture, Climate Services

User Case Scenario:
Farmers:
- As a farmer, I want to view weather predictions for the next 3 days in my village ("Risk of heavy rain in the next week")
- As a farmer, I want to view seasonal forecasts ("average of 25 degree for the next 3 months")
- As a farmer, I want to receive tips on what to sow and when ("Consider sowing 'maicillo' rather than maize, you have more chances to have a good production")
- As a farmer, I want to ask questions to fellow farmers or experts ("What kind of fertilizer can I use for my tomato plantation?" or "My plants have a white fungus. What can I do?")
- As a farmer, I want to answer questions from other farmers
