Abstract: With the increasing financial challenges in the agricultural sector, the need for transparent, efficient, and accessible funding solutions has become critical. Traditional financing methods often involve intermediaries, lack transparency, and place significant financial risk solely on farmers. This paper presents GreenFund: A Direct Farmer–Investor Crowdfunding Platform with Real-Time Profit Tracking, a system designed to bridge the gap between farmers and investors through a secure and transparent digital platform. The proposed system enables farmers to publish detailed agricultural projects, including crop information, funding requirements, and expected returns, while allowing investors to directly fund these projects. The platform integrates real-time monitoring and tracking mechanisms to analyze project progress and calculate profit or loss based on actual outcomes. It incorporates features such as automated notifications, secure transaction management, and risk visibility to enhance trust and decision-making. The system is capable of reducing dependency on traditional intermediaries, improving financial accessibility for farmers, and providing investors with a structured and transparent investment environment. Experimental results indicate that the proposed solution enhances operational efficiency, reduces manual effort, and offers a scalable and cost-effective approach for agricultural funding. The architecture is designed to be flexible and suitable for both small-scale farmers and large agricultural ecosystems.
