CropGuard 🌾

Early Warning System for PEI Crop Diseases

Real-time coordination for Canada's Food Island

CropGuard enables farmers to report crop diseases, authorities to verify alerts, and automatically warns adjacent regions—preventing outbreaks before they spread across Prince Edward Island.

The Problem

Prince Edward Island produces 25% of Canada's potato crop, but farmers lack real-time awareness of disease outbreaks in neighboring regions. By the time farmers learn about nearby threats, it's often too late to prevent spread.

The Solution

CropGuard provides an interactive map showing real-time disease alerts across PEI's 3 counties. When authorities verify a farmer's report, the system automatically alerts adjacent regions, enabling proactive prevention instead of reactive damage control.

Why It Matters

Enables proactive response versus reactive damage control on an island where disease spreads quickly. Traditional systems treat regions independently—CropGuard bridges isolated reports to regional awareness.
