A mobile application for land and crop suitability mapping :

Abstract

The farming system is changing, that is modern farming is being adopted every day. There are growing pressures related to low crop yields and increasing population. Most people practice farming as their source of income yet they get difficulties in identifying suitable lands for their crops. Farmers plant crops basing on their knowledge; despite the improvements being adopted by government where every sub county has an agricultural officer there are challenges like time wasting, high costs and delay in information delivery. Modern farming need to integrate with digital systems that make use of current available technologies to help in saving time and associated costs.
