Case Study: Increasing Yields for Smallholder Farmers

We deployed a network of affordable soil sensors and weather stations across 500 small farms in Kenya, providing farmers with actionable insights via SMS and a simple mobile app.

Results

  • 25% increase in crop yields
  • 30% reduction in water usage
  • 40% decrease in crop disease incidents
  • ROI achieved within first harvest season

Our Approach

We follow a structured methodology to develop hardware solutions that are robust, affordable, and appropriate for local contexts.

Needs Assessment

We begin by deeply understanding the specific challenges and requirements of the target environment and users.

Prototype Development

We rapidly develop and test prototypes in real-world conditions, iterating based on user feedback and performance data.

Local Manufacturing

Where possible, we partner with local manufacturers to produce components, creating jobs and reducing costs.

Deployment & Training

We provide comprehensive training for users and local technicians to ensure sustainable operation and maintenance.
