We are social,Agritech, based in Rwanda ,we have developed a smartphone application(SARURA APP),that help farmers to predict and detect crop disease,pest,Poor plant nutrition,weeds and offer a corresponding treatment measure at earlier stage,The application uses artificial intelligence(AI),Machine learning(ML) andanalytics,and operate without an internet connection.In Rwanda bout 35% crop productivity lost dues to pest,poor plant nutrition,plant disease,the application came in as a solution,it has allowed farmers,increase their crop productivity and yield up to 60%,reduced their expenses related to buying crop pesticides and hiring agronomists,therefore increases their profits and disposable income to feed the future.
We are living in times where families are working extremly hard but gain close to nothing as out put ,small holder farmers are living in extreme poverty and hunger despite working all year round to produce food,they get very little returns from their input .Our contribution for eradicating food crisis as well as poverty for rural farmers Through a smartphone application we provide real time support for rural farmers in early pest detection,Poor plant nutrition,access to scientific knowledge on how to tackle infestation in a sustainable way,goes along way to ensure famillies have enough food all year round as well as enhancing economic activities in communities,so far 19000 farmers'live have been transformed,120 job have been created as our ambasador in 30 district that made Rwanda,not only the farmers who are benifiting in our solution,But also the entire community where by,since the application has prevented the over application of herbicides that were normally turns to excessive toxins and finds their way in our food,the entire community is fed healthy.

About 91% of rural households in Rwanda practises farming and there is no more fundamental need than the need of food and this will never go away,fortunately the use of our solution(AIdriven smartphone application) is allowing the farms of all sizes to operate and functions,increase yield,generate revenue and keeps the community fed,so far 19000 farmers'lives have been transformed,120 jobs have been created for the youth who were unemployed.

Through digital farming,smartphone Application we developed that uses artificial intelligence to
predict,detect crop disease,pest,poor plant nutrition,weeds,and and offer a corresponding treatment measures at earlier stage,farmers are nolonger troubled with crop losses because
the Application is drastically reducing the crop losses that were caused by ,diseases,pest,and
poor plant nutrition,and it has allowed farmers to increase their crop productivity and yield up
to60%.Our solution is helping maintain food ecosystem where by real time support access to scientific kowledge is provided,on how to tackle infestation sustainably,goes along way toensure families have enough food allyear round as well as enhancing economic activities in communities.hence increases food production sustainably.
- Pilot: An organization deploying a tested product, service, or business model in at least one community
- A new technology
Imagine if Farmers are using agronomist? many of rural farmers they don't even have the ability to hire them,they have to check their field for themselves without any knowledge,how much time would it take them to explore a field for pests,plant diseases,nutritional deficiency check? its a time consuming and alots of issues can pass by unnoticed.Today we have to leave traditional farming behind and plunging into a completely new universe where farmers need only to take a simple photo through a smart phone application and have all the field information,very accurate,affordable,digital,quick and the farmers get the feed back for the field immediately,with the corresponding treatment measures.

Our solution is currently operating in Rwanda and it is working, here below is the video that shows how has been the crop productivity before using our technology for the farmers in our community and the productivity after using our technology.
- Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
In Rwanda,91% of rural households practices farming, about 35%of crop productivity lost due to Pest,plant disease,and nutritional
deficiency,as that number keeps on going higher every year,with the use an AI driven
smartphone application,we provide real time support for rural farmers in early pest
detection,access to scientific knowledge on how to tackle infestations sustainably,goes along way to ensure families have enough food all year round as well as enhancing economic
activities in community,in addition to that,smaller holder farmers,youth,women on rural
communities are empowered with AI(artificial intelligence) and digital tools that enable them to strive economically.The application has allowed Farmers to increase their yield up to 60% with increased productivity. it accurate,digital,affordable and sustainable.
