        abstract = {Agriculture plays a vital role in India’s economy, yet many small and marginal farmers face difficulties accessing modern farming equipment due to high purchase costs, seasonal demand, and limited availability. Expensive machinery like tractors, harvesters, or threshers often remains idle for most of the year, while other farmers depend on local brokers or informal sharing networks that lack transparency and reliability. This results in underutilization of equipment, financial losses for owners, and reduced productivity for those unable to access tools when needed. Aerobridges are developed as a farmer-to-farmer equipment sharing system that addresses these issues through a secure, transparent, and technology- driven platform. It allows equipment owners to list idle machinery and lets nearby farmers discover and book them based on location, availability, and pricing preferences. The system integrates modules for user verification (KYC), digital payments with escrow protection, and a rating-based reputation model to promote trust and accountability between users. The platform also includes features such as vernacular language support, offline-first access for rural connectivity, AI-assisted price guidance, and real-time logistics tracking. Through these functionalities, Aerobridges ensures inclusivity and ease of use even for users with limited technical experience. The system is built using scalable web and mobile frameworks, secure APIs, and a microservice architecture for efficient data handling and smooth user experience. By improving machinery utilization and enabling affordable access to advanced tools, Aerobridges helps reduce the capital burden on smallholders while improving productivity and profitability. It bridges the gap between technology and agriculture by promoting digital collaboration and sustainability within the farming community.},
