DIGITAL ADVISORY

FarmHelp

FarmHelp provides digital advisory where a farmer can ask questions by sharing photos and videos from the farm and they receive same-day responses from experienced extension officers located in a central office.

With this model, one extension officer can serve up to 120 farmers in a day, which is not achievable with the current farm-to-farm visit model.

Our model also greatly improves the extension- officer-to-farmer ratio from the current 1:1800 to 1:250.

One extension officer can serve up to 120 farmers in a day while currently, they serve up to 10 farmers.

FarmHelp is a highly affordable extension solution at just 10 shillings (7 ¢) a day.

Providing Extension Services at Scale

In Kenya, the current extension officer to farmer ratio is 1:1800 against the recommended ratio of 1:400 farmers by FAO. This means more than 70% of smallholders have no reliable access to extension services. The consultation fee to access these services are also generally high, making it out of reach of even more farmers.

FarmHelp seeks to solve this challenge by providing a solution that is affordable and can be scaled rapidly while providing high quality advisory services to farmers.
