Abstract:

The 21st century is an era of fourth industrial revolution. This century is dictated by data and technology. Just like any other field, agriculture is no exception. Pakistan has had an agrarian economy since its inception; however, numerous issues related to food and agricultural growth have limited its economic scope. This study aims to analyze the usage of information systems in agriculture while identifying the challenges faced by this industry. To achieve this, three of the most widely-used agricultural websites were selected and statistically analyzed to identify the shortcomings and availability of agriculture information on these platforms. The subsequent phase involves the designing UML diagrams & High Fidelity Wireframes to ensure the system fullfill the shortcomings which were found in existing information systems. The prototype web-based information solution was designed using CMS framework to address the agricultural queries and reduce the deficiencies that the previous system failed to tackle. To validate the effectiveness and usability of the developed system, Alpha User Acceptance Testing (UAT) was conducted. If these recommendations and web-based solutions are accurately implemented, Pakistan's economy has the potential to regain strength and stand tall in the global community of nations.
