ABSTRACT—In today's fast-paced world, the demand for fresh, locally-sourced produce is rapidly increasing as consumers become more conscious of food quality, sustainability, and their environmental impact. However, small-scale farmers often struggle to reach a wider customer base due to the lack of direct market access and reliance on traditional supply chains. "Farm Basket" aims to bridge this gap by leveraging modern technology to create a digital marketplace that directly connects local farmers with consumers, enabling a streamlined farm-to-table experience.

The core advantage of "Farm Basket" lies in its user-friendly platform, which allows farmers to list their produce while providing consumers with an easy way to browse and purchase fresh, seasonal products. Through this direct interaction, farmers can set fair prices and reduce dependency on intermediaries, while consumers gain access to high-quality, locally- grown produce.

By utilizing technologies such as ReactJS, NodeJS, and MongoDB, "Farm Basket" provides a scalable and reliable solution that caters to the growing demand for sustainable and transparent food sourcing.
