FarmIT partnered with 400 women smallholder farmers in Ngurumani, Kajiado County to strengthen their capacity in pest and disease detection and improve productivity across key crops. The project focused primarily on pawpaw farming, while also supporting intercropped vegetables such as tomatoes, kales, and spinach—helping these women diversify income sources and boost overall farm efficiency.

By leveraging FarmIT’s AI-powered pest and disease identification tools, farmers received instant diagnostics and tailored agronomic advice, enabling early intervention and reducing crop losses. The women were further empowered through real-time recommendations on irrigation, fertilizer use, and best practices to improve yields. As a result, the farmers reported better crop quality, increased incomes, and improved resilience. This initiative not only contributed to food security and economic empowerment in the region but also demonstrated the transformative impact of digital tools in the hands of women-led farming communities.
