the agricultural sector of uganda is facing a problem where farmers find it difficult to access certified and trusted agricultural services within the current geographical location and track of past records of the agricultural services provided. # Farm Connect Web Application Farm Connect links users with verified agri-service providers and supports digital service record management. ## Project Structure ``` Farm-connect/ ├── backend/ │ ├── src/ │ │ ├── config/ │ │ ├── controllers/ │ │ ├── middleware/ │ │ ├── models/ │ │ ├── routes/ │ │ └── services/ │ └── package.json ├── frontend/ │ ├── src/ │ │ ├── components/ │ │ ├── pages/ │ │ ├── services/ │ │ └── utils/ │ └── package.json ├── database/ │ ├── schema.sql │ └── supabase/ └── config/ ├── .env.backend.example └── .env.frontend.example ``` ## Architecture Alignment React frontend calls Express API routes. The backend delegates work to: - Authentication service - OTP verification service - Notification service (SMS placeholder) - Business logic service (provider matching and records) Data persists in PostgreSQL/Supabase using `/database/schema.sql`. ## Quick Start ### Frontend ```bash cd frontend npm install npm start ``` ### Backend ```bash cd backend npm install npm run dev ``` ### Database Run `/database/schema.sql` on PostgreSQL or Supabase SQL editor. ### Environment - Copy `config/.env.backend.example` to `config/.env.backend` - Copy `config/.env.frontend.example` to `config/.env.frontend`
