Technology is useful when it shortens the distance between a farmer and a good decision.
BetterLife develops digital tools around practical gaps: understanding soil, preparing for weather, finding a service, accessing finance and reaching a buyer.
A phone is only useful when the information on it fits your soil, your crop and your market. That is why every tool we build comes with people who can explain it.
In use in Uganda
Our digital agricultural advisory platform gives farmers soil and crop guidance, climate information, market prices and agricultural services. It is paired with field training, because a phone and data alone do not make a tool useful.
With World Food Programme (engagement on farmer information and data)
In use in Uganda
Agribusiness Connekt links farmers and small agricultural enterprises to buyers, finance, services and market information, giving producers trained through BetterLife programmes a route from production into longer-term enterprise.
Help farmers reach better information and buyers: support connectivity, data partnerships or the field teams who train farmers to use the tools.
