AgriMitra is an AI-powered platform designed to assist farmers in managing agricultural waste effectively. Our core mission is to reduce environmental pollution and promote sustainable agricultural practices by enabling efficient waste repurposing.

Farmers around the world generate significant amounts of organic and agricultural waste, including crop residues, animal manure, and food scraps. This waste often goes unmanaged due to a lack of resources or knowledge, leading to:

• Harmful open-field burning of crop residues, causing air pollution.
• Underutilization of animal manure and food waste, which could otherwise be converted into biofertilizers or energy.
• Environmental harm from the accumulation of plastic waste used in agricultural activities. AgriMitra addresses these issues by providing tailored solutions for waste management and recycling.

• AI Chat Bot: Users can interact with our AI bot by entering text or uploading pictures of their agricultural waste. The bot provides information on whether the waste can be recycled or needs to be disposed of and facilitates recycling pickups or DIY treatment solutions.
• Dashboard: After logging in, users can access:
  • Weather Updates: Real-time weather information to help plan agricultural activities.
  • Emergency Alerts: Notifications about urgent environmental conditions and updates.
  • Recycling Facility Contacts: Details of nearby waste management and recycling facilities.
  • Agricultural Tips: Regular tips and best practices for sustainable farming.
• Forum: A community space where users can ask questions, share opinions, and discuss various topics related to agriculture.

JavaScript with React for front-end development.

Python with a virtual environment for back-end processing.

Flask API to handle requests between the front end and server.

OpenAI API to power the intelligent chat bot.

OpenWeather API for real-time weather updates.

Weatherbit API for real-time weather Alerts.

MongoDB for database management.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Node.js (which comes with npm)
• Python (version 3.x recommended)
• Git (optional, for cloning the repository)

To get started with the AgriMitra project, clone the repository to your local machine by running the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/agrimitra.git
cd agrimitra

• Navigate to the backend directory:

    cd backend
  

• Create a virtual environment:

    python -m venv env
  

• Activate the virtual environment:

  On Windows:

    .\env\Scripts\activate
  

  On MacOS/Linux:

    source env/bin/activate
  

• Install the required Python packages:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Start the Flask server:

    flask run
  

• Setting Up the Frontend

  Navigate to the frontend directory from the root of the project:

    cd frontend
  

  Install the necessary npm packages:

    npm install
  

  Start the React development server:

    npm start
  

The React application will automatically open in your default web browser at http://localhost:3000.

• Ensure any APIs or external services used in the project (like OpenAI API, Weather API) are configured with the appropriate API keys or access tokens, which should be placed in the respective configuration files or environment variables.

• If your application uses MongoDB, ensure MongoDB is set up either locally or through a cloud provider. Provide the connection string in your backend configuration to connect to your database.
