PermaTrack is a digital platform designed to support permaculture farms by combining plant monitoring, task management, and data-driven insights in one place. It helps farmers and teams track plant growth, soil health, weather conditions, and pest activity while simplifying communication and coordination across the farm. With features like smart scanning via phone, soil and insect checks, weather forecasts, and analytics dashboards, PermaTrack reduces the complexity of farm planning and day-to-day management. By integrating ecological knowledge with modern technology, the system empowers sustainable agriculture, making permaculture more efficient, transparent, and collaborative.
Managing a permaculture farm involves complex planning, constant monitoring, and coordinating tasks across teams. Farmers face challenges in tracking plant health, soil quality, weather conditions, and pest activity while maintaining sustainable practices. The difficulty lies in collecting and analyzing data efficiently to make timely decisions.
PermaTrack provides a digital platform for plant monitoring, data collection, and team coordination. Using smart phone scans, weather integration, soil and insect checks, and analytics dashboards, farmers can track plant growth, detect issues early, and manage tasks collaboratively. The system centralizes information, streamlines communication, and supports data-driven decision-making.
The project demonstrates how technology can simplify farm management and improve sustainability in permaculture. It allows students to prototype a system that supports real-time monitoring, data-driven decisions, and collaborative workflows, highlighting the potential of digital tools in ecological agriculture.
