This study focuses on the design and development of a high-efficiency manual soil tiller to support small-scale farmers and urban agriculture. The tool was designed to improve soil aeration, reduce compaction, and enhance root growth while maintaining ergonomic usability. The research employed an engineering design method, including problem identification, conceptual design, prototyping, and performance testing. Results showed that the manual soil tiller increased soil porosity by 18%, reduced compaction by 22%, and improved work efficiency compared to traditional hoes. This innovation demonstrates the potential of appropriate technology to support sustainable agriculture.
