Through partnerships with key stakeholders, we are onboarding and assessing the needs of over 5,000 farmers across three states and two regions in northern Nigeria. This serves as the foundation for structuring our offerings to address the core challenges that hinder smallholder farmers: climate risks, yield issues, supply chain inefficiencies, and post-harvest losses.
Equipping farmers with tools to overcome challenges and boost productivity.
Building solutions that reflect farmers' needs for a sustainable future.
Access to technology is one of the most obvious yet overlooked challenges faced by smallholder African farmers. Although many game-changing technologies are already available, including African markets, a significant gap persists in deploying them to smallholder farmers.
As these farmers confront the uncertainties of climate change, bridging this gap becomes even more critical.
Farmers Tech Floor was established to address this challenge, starting with climate-resilient technologies. Through creative financing, a community-driven approach, and case-by-case business models, we aim to launch a new frontier to unlock the full potential of smallholder farmers. We are building the ground-up human agency and digital infrastructure to bring the right productivity-enhancing technologies and climate-resilient tools directly into the hands of rural African farmers.
We are not developing the silver-bullet app. And we are not simply entrepreneurs—we are practicing farmers ourselves.
From Dabardak in North-Eastern Nigeria to Katojo in South-Western Uganda, we have extensive experience working directly with smallholder farmers across Sub-Saharan Africa.
