Question: what is the most recent invention that you are working on, what does it do and what impact will it make in the society

The most recent invention I am working on is a hybrid AI-powered mobile platform designed to support smallholder farmers by predicting crop productivity and providing real-time agricultural advice based on soil data, weather conditions, and market trends. The system integrates machine learning models, particularly Support Vector Machines and Convolutional Neural Networks, to analyze environmental inputs and deliver personalized recommendations for soil treatment, planting schedules, and crop selection. This innovation aims to boost food security, enhance sustainable farming practices, and improve livelihoods by empowering farmers with data-driven decision-making tools, especially in resource-constrained and climate-vulnerable regions.
