Background: The rapid growth of urban populations in Indonesia has led to a significant decline in agricultural land and a heavy reliance on vegetable supplies from outside the cities. Ironically, vegetable consumption in Indonesia remains far below the WHO’s recommended standard, while prices in urban areas are often high and unstable. Urban farming has emerged as a promising solution to support household-level food security, but its implementation faces multiple challenges—limited space, lack of technical knowledge, and the absence of ongoing guidance.

To address these issues, we developed an AI-powered educational application focused on cultivating mustard greens—one of the most accessible and widely consumed vegetables in Indonesia. This app is designed to help urban residents start their own micro-farming on rooftops or balconies by offering weekly growth monitoring, watering reminders, and automatic analysis of plant conditions. With this technology, we aim to empower city dwellers to be more self-sufficient in food production and to embrace urban farming as a sustainable way of life.

Problem: Many urban farming users feel confused when starting due to the lack of practical guidance and an easy-to-use monitoring system. They struggle to assess whether their plants are growing properly, often forget to care for them, and don’t know how to fix problems when they arise. As a result, the planting process feels overwhelming and demotivating—especially for beginners with limited space.

Solution: To help urban residents start farming in limited spaces, we built an AI-powered mobile app that guides users in growing mustard greens—from setup to harvest. The app offers step-by-step instructions, weekly growth tracking, real-time AI feedback, and daily watering reminders.

This solution simplifies urban farming for beginners, reduces failure, and builds confidence through consistent support, making it easier to grow fresh food sustainably—even on a rooftop.
