For this, the “Tools for Individual Micro Entrepreneur” features a solution that includes a large part of this sector, proposing solutions in economic factors, socials and transport.

How We Developed This Project

Rural producers have a big influence on the global economy. Homewever, during this social isolation period, both in production and the sale of food from small producers are being drastically affected. From this adversity, our team, “AlphaSpace”, developed a application on which will be possible to unite who needs to sell with who needs to buy, generation na alleviation of the problem, Moreover, the application will also bring the opportunity to form partnerships between producers and companies, something that is valuable to us during and after the pandemic.

For the project development, it was used the App Builder “Good Barber”, website that enabled the creation of the base project for presentation.  Besides that, the data provided by the space agency (like “poverty cases and food security studies”) were of paramount importance, since it helped us in building solutions and identifying problems around the world.
