Introduction:
Smallholder farmers play a crucial role in the global food production system, especially in developing countries. However, they often face challenges in accessing efficient and affordable farm machinery that can help increase productivity and reduce labor-intensive tasks. In this project, we aim to design efficient farm machinery specifically tailored to the needs of smallholder farmers. By doing so, we hope to improve their livelihoods, increase food production, and contribute to sustainable agriculture practices.
