Description

The google inclusion project is aimed at having the adsurv farmer engagement app be able to support questions and provide answers in relation to agriculture in the Luganda language. This allows the app to be usable by the majority of Ugandan farmers who are illiterate yet they would want to tap into the potential of technology to better their farm performance and have good yields. In order to encapsulate a large number of the illiterate, it allows farmers ask questions by speaking in Luganda and they can receive audio feedback of similar questions with respective results(Answers). The recommended questions are powered by a machine learning recommender engine to return the most relevant questions from a plethora of q&a’s within the sofar gathered expert knowledge in the database
