Building Knowledge for Harvest: Empowering Farmers Against Climate Uncertainties

Small-scale farmers in countries like India and Ethiopia face a daunting task: How do they improve their farming businesses and adapt to increasingly erratic rains and droughts to support their families?

They have few people to go to, but one information resource is their local extension agent. But the extension agents face challenges too. Each day, they have to transit long distances and face questions about how and when farmers should plant or harvest, navigate market conditions, and respond to pests and diseases for all commodities and livestock produced by hundreds, if not thousands, of farmers.

At Digital Green, we're transforming this reality. Through our innovative video-based training, we’ve built a library of over 7,000 videos, in 50 languages, produced by and for farmers, reaching 5.3 million farmers, 61% of whom are women. These videos are more than instructional content; they are a connection, a shared story, and a spark for change.

Cultivating Success with Digital Tech: The Rise of a Women's Farming Collective

In Odisha, India, a group of 500 women began small – with rice fields, mushroom farming, and sewing.

They've now grown into a powerful collective running a nursery that supplies saplings far and wide, turning their hard work into profit.

Using Digital Green's data app, these women now track sapling demand precisely, reducing waste and increasing profits. Their success exemplifies the importance of leveraging cutting-edge technology to increase the efficiency and impact of extension services for small-scale farmers.
