Overview

A mobile-first AI co-pilot for small and medium farmers in developing regions. It takes satellite imagery, weather data and AI analysis — the instruments large corporate farms pay for — and turns them into plain, actionable advice on an ordinary smartphone, in the farmer's own language.

The problem
  1. 01

    Inherited farming knowledge is losing its reliability against climate volatility: the patterns it encodes describe a climate that is no longer the one outside.

  2. 02

    The technology that answers those questions — satellite analysis, agronomy modelling — is priced for corporate agriculture and out of reach for smallholders.

  3. 03

    Advice that does exist arrives as reports and figures, which is not a form a decision can be made from in a field.

  4. 04

    Language and literacy stand between the farmer and the guidance, so tools written for one audience simply do not reach the other.

The solution
  1. 01

    Satellite NDVI analysis through Google Earth Engine, so crop health is measured from orbit rather than estimated by eye.

  2. 02

    Pest and disease diagnosis from a phone camera via the Gemini API — the farmer photographs the leaf and gets an identification and a response.

  3. 03

    A contextual assistant that answers in the local language, so the guidance arrives in the form the decision is actually made in.

  4. 04

    A sustainability score for water management that makes the long-term cost of a choice visible at the moment the choice is made.

  5. 05

    Mobile-first throughout, designed for the device and the connection farmers actually have rather than the one the data assumes.

In use

Reading a field from orbit

NDVI over the season shows which part of a plot is under stress before it is visible walking it, and says what to do about it.

Identifying a pest

The farmer photographs an affected leaf; the diagnosis and the treatment come back in their own language, in minutes rather than a visit.

Deciding when to irrigate

Weather, soil condition and the sustainability score combine into a recommendation that accounts for the water it costs.
