Basically, it'd be a platform/app where customers can set a radius around their location and instantly browse all the available products offered by local farmers and producers. From fresh fruits and veggies to homemade goods, customers would have direct access to a variety of locally sourced products.

One of the most destructive pests that pose a global danger to rice farming is stem borers. These sneaky animals, which are mostly beetles and moths, lay their eggs on rice plants. After hatching, the larvae pierce the stems to feed on the internal essential tissues. They seriously harm the plants when they burrow into the stalks, causing withering, stunted development, and even plant death. Stem borers can destroy entire rice fields if left unchecked, which would cause significant crop losses and financial hardship for farmers. To grow a healthy crop, you have to know how to manage stem bore ..read more

Hey everyone, I'm a 26 year old software developer and I'm interested in starting a startup to help ranchers solve some important problem that they are dealing with. I'm not here looking for problems ranchers have, what I'm here for is to learn ways I can learn more about ranchers and meet ranchers where I can learn more about their work. Any advice on how I can do this?
