Creating a world where farmers use technology and data to build prosperous communities.
About us
Digital Green is a global development organization working to create a world where farmers use technology and data to build prosperous communities. We join forces with governments, private agencies and, most importantly, rural communities themselves to co-create digital solutions that are of the community and for the community. When farmers have the tools they need to connect with one another, they’re far more likely to apply what they’ve learned on their farms and in their households – improving their own livelihoods and those of others in their community in a manner that’s nutrition-sensitive, climate-resilient, and inclusive.

We’re excited to be featured as one of the eight powerful examples of #ResponsibleAI in action, spanning sectors like agriculture, health, education, and human rights in a new report by Caribou Digital, International Development Research Centre (IDRC), and Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. Explore the case studies, including Farmer.Chat, our AI-powered digital assistant for agricultural extension👉 https://bit.ly/3TXfaYN These are three responsible practices in #AI for development highlighted in the report: 👉Do no harm. Many of the organizations are taking it slow and integrating AI with strict oversight. 👉Keep humans in the loop. Ensure AI doesn’t operate without human guidance for quality assurance purposes. 👉Pursue fairness and inclusivity by reducing possible biases while using AI tools, by using and refining open source tools AI, and by sharing findings with the AI4D community of practice. #AI4D #AIForDevelopment #SustainableDevelopment Artificial Intelligence for Development (AI4D)

Hawinet Bekele, our Head of Product, served as a mentor at the Llama 3.1 Impact Sub-Saharan Africa #Hackathon in Kigali, Rwanda, from October 8-10, 2024.
