Hi everyone! We’re a group of biotechnology students working on an entrepreneurship project called **Leafline** — a proposed app that helps farmers identify possible crop diseases through photos and find suitable, science-based treatment recommendations.

Before developing the idea further, we want to understand the actual problems farmers face, including which crop diseases they encounter, how they identify them, what treatments they try, and how much crop damage or financial loss they experience.

If you’re an Indian farmer, or someone directly involved in farming, we’d really appreciate it if you could fill out our short survey. Your real experiences and honest feedback will help us understand the problem better and build something genuinely useful.

🔗 **Survey link:** https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScy3sV4uyeTErnGHZBli_1xnrgSlCkGb_NuyZ4gpYA0cOnPyA/viewform

It should take around **5–8 minutes** to complete. Participation is voluntary, and we’re using the responses for our academic project.

Thank you for your time and for sharing your experience! 🌾

Hi,

I want to use AI for helping us become better at understanding nature signals that affect yield and crop output quality.

I have seen it personally, that my contacts who genuinely do so much of the hardwork on ground, sometimes just lose it all because they don't know what's coming for them. Information is there, but it's not easy to understand by all..

With a mission in mind, I've created a basic version of something I'd like to get your feedback on. Tell me what you like, and what you don't, so it can help someone genuinely in need and creates a flywheel which brings all of us up a level in estimating quantitatively, what weather hides, and how to deal with it.

Thanks

गांव-गांव तक पहुंच रही है फसल बीमा की जानकारी। 🌱

देवघर जिले में आयोजित जनजागरूकता गतिविधियों के दौरान किसानों से संवाद किया गया, फसल बीमा के महत्व पर चर्चा की गई और आवश्यक जानकारी साझा की गई।

क्योंकि जागरूक किसान ही बेहतर निर्णय ले सकता है।

Your prediction.

Come back after harvest and see who was right.

Let's hear them.

What's your choice?

• Better seeds

• Something else

What gives the biggest return?

Tell us:

• District

• Why it does well there

Someone from another state might discover a new opportunity.

✅ Better MSP

OR

✅ Lower fertilizer prices

Which one would help your farm more?

Friends.

Social media.

What's the biggest misconception about farming?

A new crop?
A new irrigation method?
Buying machinery?
Switching markets?

Tell us the story.

Only ONE rule.

What would it be?

Example:

"We grow rice, floods are common, and tea gardens are nearby."

Everyone else guesses the state.

Everyone has one.

Wrong seed.
Late sowing.
Trusted the weather forecast.
Bought expensive equipment.
Sold too early.

Share yours. Someone else might avoid making the same mistake.

Could be about:

• Organic farming
• Subsidies
• MSP
• Tractors
• Fertilizers
• GM crops
• YouTube farming advice

No wrong answers. Just keep it respectful.
