THE CHALLENGE
Small farmers face increasing challenges due to changing weather conditions and limited resources. They need simple, accessible tools to decide when and how much to water crops.
Liquid Prep aimed to provide data-driven advice using weather data, crop information, and soil humidity measurements — but the interface needed to be clearer, more intuitive, and more accessible for diverse users.
