The Problem We Solve
Farmers are impacted by the negative effects of climate change, yet they lack access to tailored knowledge on how best to adapt to these challenges, limiting their yields and livelihoods.
Many (smallholder) farmers across the world also lack digital literacy to work directly with an app that could provide solutions.
Extension agents have restricted budgets to travel to farmers and no effective tools to manage the hundreds of farmers they work with, limiting their assistance.
