AgriSense (Improved)

AgriSense is a smart agricultural intelligence system designed to empower farmers and agricultural enthusiasts with AI-backed crop analysis, real-time weather monitoring, and regional analytics. This repository contains the improved, modular structure of the AgriSense platform.

Project Structure

The project is structured as a monorepo containing two main parts:

agrisense/
├── backend/      # Express API Server
└── frontend/     # React + Vite Web Client

---

Getting Started

1. Backend Setup

The backend is built with Node.js and Express.js, using MongoDB for storage and integrates with Google's Gemini AI and OpenWeather APIs.

1. Navigate to the backend directory:

   cd backend

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Create a .env file in the backend/ directory with the following variables:

   PORT=5000
   MONGO_URI=your_mongodb_connection_uri
   GEMINI_API_KEY=your_google_gemini_api_key
   JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_signing_secret
   OPENWEATHER_API_KEY=your_openweather_api_key

4. Run the development server (runs nodemon):

   npm run dev

2. Frontend Setup

The frontend is a modern SPA powered by React 19, Vite, TypeScript, and Framer Motion for premium glassmorphism layouts and transitions.

1. Navigate to the frontend directory:

   cd frontend

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Run the development server:

   npm run dev
