Andhra Pradesh Community Natural Farming (APCNF) is an organization that promotes natural farming. Their farming techniques are low-cost and eco-friendly and include the use of local resources. Natural farming has the ability to achieve the twin objectives of ensuring global food security and environmental preservation because it does not rely on agrochemicals. The Andhra Pradesh government has initiated Rythu Sadhikara Samstha (RySS), which occasionally conducts village-level training on natural farming techniques through SHG and RySS groups. But, it is still unknown to many people and has no support to assist them. We have designed this Prakruthi Sedhya application, a complete Natural Farming Mobile app. Our motto is to help people by assisting them in farming and creating a network among them. This app provides details about cultivating different crops, using natural farming techniques, and crop care information, including preparing natural fertilizers and using them at appropriate times. Furthermore, it indicates the weather forecast in each region. It also includes details about government schemes and minimum support prices(MSP) of all crops, fixed by the central government of India. This application connects farmers and buyers so that farmers can sell their yield directly to customers. Building a network among farmers through discussion forums can also be met. This app was created using real data that was gathered from APCNF specialists, agriculture officers, and active farmers. It is a complete Telugu language-based app and anyone can use this app because it is made to be user-friendly.
