 INTRODUCTION
In numerous agricultural areas, farmers face challenges in securing
dependable and skilled labor for short-term or seasonal tasks, particularly
during busy periods such as planting, harvesting, and crop care. Traditional
labor-sourcing methods, such as relying on local contractors, word-of-
mouth, or local labor markets, are often inefficient, resulting in delays,
underutilization of workers, and financial setbacks for both farmers and
laborers.

 PROBLEM STATEMENT
 To develop a scalable and secure on-demand labor platform that connects
Farmers with skilled workers in real-time.

Department of Computer Engineering 5

 MOTIVATION
Agriculture is vital to global food supply, but a common issue faced by
farmers is the challenge of finding temporary labor during key times such as
planting and harvesting. Conventional labor recruitment methods are often
ineffective, causing inefficiencies that result in lost productivity for farmers
and missed employment opportunities for laborers. By creating a digital
solution that connects available workers with agricultural jobs, these
inefficiencies can be minimized, benefiting both parties through improved
productivity and more consistent employment.
