Hosting Janice and Wen from ClimateShot Investor Coalition (CLIC) was an eye-opener to how much the world needs the solution we offer to smallholder farmers not only in the global south but also globally. For us to Solve SDG 2, a lot of support from stakeholders across the board has to be realized. The uptake of technological solutions by the farming community can be realized through #knowledge sharing, demo sessions and strategic collaborations. In our operations, we ensure that no one is left behind in this revolutionary journey of understanding the climatic changes and achieving sustainability.

The belief that crops cannot thrive under tree shade is a common misconception among gardeners and agricultural enthusiasts. However, this notion overlooks several important factors regarding plant growth and light requirements. Not all plants require the same amount of sunlight to grow successfully. While many fruiting crops like tomatoes and peppers do thrive in full sun, there are numerous vegetables, herbs, and fruits that can tolerate or even prefer partial shade. Leafy greens such as spinach, kale, and lettuce, for example, can flourish with as little as four to five hours of light per day, allowing for successful gardening in shaded areas. Several categories of crops can be grown successfully in shaded conditions, including leafy greens, root vegetables, herbs, and bush fruits like raspberries. These examples illustrate that it is indeed possible to cultivate a productive garden under trees or in other shaded areas. To enhance the growth potential of crops in shaded areas, gardeners can assess light patterns, opt for container gardening for mobility, and thin tree canopies to increase light exposure. By employing these strategies, optimal growing conditions can be achieved even with limited sunlight. In conclusion, the myth that crops cannot thrive under tree shade fails to consider the diversity of plant species and their varying light requirements. Many vegetables and herbs are perfectly capable of growing successfully in partial shade conditions with appropriate plant selection and garden management techniques. #classtime #agroecology #planthealth #soilhealth #zerohunger

Soil testing is a vital practice in modern agriculture that enables farmers to make data-driven decisions about their soils’ health and fertility. By understanding the nutrient status and other characteristics of their soils, growers can improve crop yields while also promoting environmental sustainability. Farmers at Rungeto called and we answered. Our team is on the ground for Train The Trainer sessions ready for an activation in Embu, Mbeere and the larger mountain region. #sustainability #theoryofchange #soulhealth

Today, on the International Day of Rural Women, we celebrate the invaluable contributions of rural women in agriculture and food systems. 🌾 As an agtech company, we are dedicated to supporting these women who are key to cultivating good food for all. Gender equality is not only a moral imperative but essential for fighting hunger and climate change. Studies indicate that achieving equal access to resources for women could boost farm yields by 20-30%, potentially feeding an extra 100-150 million people globally. Our commitment goes beyond technology; we advocate for policies that advance women's rights in agriculture and back initiatives to enhance their involvement in decision-making processes. 🌍 #InternationalDayofRuralWomen #GenderEquality #Agriculture #FoodSystems #EmpowerWomen

In modern agriculture, one of the major challenges is maintaining crop yield while safeguarding the environment. Over-reliance on chemical fertilizers has led to soil degradation, nutrient imbalances, and environmental pollution. Biofertilizers offer a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to these problems. ❓ What are Biofertilizers? Biofertilizers are microbial formulations containing beneficial microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, algae, or rhizobia. These organisms enhance plant growth and development by: 1. Improving soil fertility: By fixing atmospheric nitrogen, solubilizing nutrients, and promoting organic matter decomposition; And 2. Enhancing plant health: By producing plant growth hormones, suppressing pathogens, and increasing stress tolerance. Examples of Biofertilizers: 🔹 Nitrogen-fixing bacteria: Rhizobium, Azotobacter, Azospirillum 🔹 Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria: Bacillus, Pseudomonas 🔹 Mycorrhizal fungi: Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi 🔹 Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR): Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Azotobacter Limitations and Considerations: While biofertilizers offer numerous benefits, they also have certain limitations: — Shelf life: Biofertilizers may have a shorter shelf life compared to chemical fertilizers. — Soil specificity: The effectiveness of biofertilizers can vary depending on soil type and conditions. — Infrastructure constraints: Access to quality carriers, technical expertise, and proper application equipment can be challenging. — Marketing challenges: Awareness and adoption of biofertilizers among farmers may be limited. Despite these limitations, biofertilizers offer a promising solution for sustainable agriculture. They can help improve soil health, reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers, and enhance crop productivity. What are your experiences with using biofertilizers in your agricultural practices? Have you noticed any positive effects on your crops? PS: Picture for attention. #soilhealth #biofertilizers #planthealth #cropyield #classtime #zerohunger

Our job is to make the farmers smile. #soilhealth #transformation
Someone recently asked me about my passion for what I do, and I found the perfect illustration to explain it. Picture A and B, taken just 6 months apart, tell the story of Alice. I met Alice back in February during a training session in Undiri village, Kikuyu. She was on the brink of giving up on farming due to disappointing crop yields. Alice had struggled with various seed types for her cabbage, leading to poor crop distribution on her farm. Determined to make a change, we conducted a thorough soil test to understand her soil's condition. Our journey began with the challenging task of restoring her soil, which had suffered from excessive fertilizer use and water logging. Through AgriTech Analytics Limited's Solar powered IoT sensor's 24/7 supervision and tailored input recommendations over 2 months, she witnessed a remarkable transformation. Fast forward to the present, and Picture B captures the joy on Alice's face. A staggering 77% of the seedlings she plants now grow into healthy cabbage, reflecting her dedication and hard work. The harvest season couldn't come soon enough for Alice. #AI4good #Farming #soilhealth #CropYields #SuccessStory
