KNUST Final Year Capstone Project

Digitizing Ghana's Agriculture in the AI & Smart Era

AgriBoost was conceived as an academic final-year project at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). Developed by Etornam and Doreen, AgriBoost explores how modern web architectures, instant escrow trade, and artificial intelligence can empower Ghanaian farmers.

Project Status: Beta

A Student Prototype for Real-World Agricultural Impact

AgriBoost is currently an academic research initiative and graduation thesis project. While fully operational for testing and demonstration, it operates as a prototype to illustrate how digital technology can eliminate intermediaries and detect crop diseases across Ghana.

Meet the Student Creators

Driven by two final-year students at KNUST passionate about agricultural technology and software innovation.
