Enhancing water availability with a changing climate
AfricaSMAT locates sites suitable for water harvesting structures and water diversion to provide a constant supply of agricultural water to farmers, designing the structures with climate change in mind.
AfricaSMAT understands that the future of agriculture dwells on agricultural innovation and the application of Big Data in revolutionizing agriculture. We therefore aim at bringing these innovative ideas and agricultural technologies to smallholder farmers down-scaling them to their understanding ability at a very low or zero cost to enhance applicability and affordability.
By encouraging irrigation and crop diversification based on crop suitability, existing research and promoting our indigenous crops, we aim at enhancing food security and fostering zero malnutrition.
AfricaSMAT recognizes the need for smallholder farmers to become resilient to climate change and to have a favorable environment for their crops and animals.
AfricaSMAT understands that by empowering women and youth to engage in beneficial agriculture, we not only improve their standards of living, but also boost agriculture.
