Technology Transforming the Lives of Smallholder Farmers


Meet Eunice, a successful smallholder farmer who lives outside of Mombasa, Kenya.

In Kenya, around 80 per cent of people have access to some form of farmable land. Although the soil is rich and fertile for farming, many plots of land stand empty or with failed crops. 

In the Mombasa region, Haller have been working with local farmers for 50 years to design organic methods to improve crop production and also provide a solid economic stream for rural families. 

Eunice has found success in maximizing her crop yield by using the open-source mobile phone app from Haller. 

With an estimated 83% of Kenya now online, largely through mobile phones, Haller's Farmers App has been developed to digitize and release local knowledge on a global scale, to anyone, anywhere. 

The application is free to use for anyone with a smartphone and internet access. They have also worked with Free Basics and Airtel Kenya to improve rural access for low income families, providing free data to download and use the app.
