🌍 Why It Matters

Agriculture is the backbone of Africa’s economy, but outdated practices are draining resources and harming the planet.

🌱

Fertilizer waste is costly — farmers lose up to 40% of yield value due to overuse.
💧

Water is running out — 70% of freshwater goes to farming, but much is wasted.
🌾

Soil health is declining — Africa loses 4 million hectares of arable land each year.
📊

Data is power — real-time insights enable precise, sustainable farming decisions.
🤝

Farmers deserve simplicity — our system translates complex soil science into clear actions.

AI Insights

AI Models trained on soil science & converts raw signals into simple actions: when to irrigate, what fertilizer, and how much.

• Fertilizer optimization
• Irrigation timing
• Soil health alerts
• Crop-specific recommendations
• Yield forecasting & harvest planning
• Climate resilience insights

Farmer Portal Insights

Smart recommendations based on soil sensor data to optimize your yields.

💧 Moisture

Soil moisture is at 42%. Irrigation is recommended within the next 2 days.

🌱 Nutrients

Nitrogen levels are low (65 ppm). Apply organic fertilizer to boost plant growth.

⚖️ Soil pH

pH is slightly acidic (5.8). Add lime treatment for optimal crop performance.

🌤️ Weather

Forecast: Rain expected in 3 days. Delay irrigation to conserve water.
