Developing a Total End-to-End Green Farming Supply Chain Solution for Africa (GREENFARM.Africa)

This project will develop an end-to-end solution to improve farmers’ lives in Africa. To address the need for more equitable access to international markets, the project will utilise state-of-the-art satellite and supporting technology (e.g. drones, smartphones) to evidence improved farming practices, working with an initial sample of 400 cooperative farmers supported by the DAWN Commission in Western Nigeria. The trans-disciplinary expert project team will work with local farmers and support services on the ground to develop an effective blueprint (initially non-technical) proof-of-concept for developing a green blockchain end-to-end food production, transportation and export market solution – initially for the UK export market. This will collect data on farming practices, size, location, equipment usage and sharing, crop selection, crop performance, routes to market and financial performance, and co-create solutions with stakeholders.
