Weather and agronomic data, including insights and tips, delivers agricultural intelligence empowering farmers to make daily, field-level decisions based on evidence, not on generic weather sources and guesswork.

the problem

Using data science to analyze crop worth, market need, and potential factors that effect both can help farmers connect to buyers and maintain crops more efficiently, meaning higher profit, fresher product and reduced waste at the every level of production. This is especially important for small farmers who have limited resources and labor.

ideas

Jamaica-based RevoFarm connects farmers to markets and market data to help them farm smarter. Through the SMS to web app farmers can text in their available crops and this will be listed on the website. Buyers can search the RevoFarm marketplace and find fresh farm produce closest to them.
