The problem
Farming advice shouldn't cost what most farmers earn in a week
Every season, smallholder farmers in Ghana lose yield to problems that are completely preventable — wrong timing, missed pest windows, guessed irrigation.
Smallholder farmer, Northern Ghana
Fertilizer wasted on wrong timing
Applying NPK at the wrong growth stage can cut effectiveness by over 60%. Most farmers never know this.
Pests caught too late
Fall Armyworm can destroy an entire maize plot in days. Early detection requires knowing exactly when and where to look.
Irrigation guessed, not measured
Too much water causes root disease. Too little causes stress at critical stages. Both hurt yield significantly.
No records, same mistakes
Without a season record, there's no way to know what worked or when to do it differently next time.
