Mobile Application for Improved Nutrition, Community Engagement and Trust with Farmers

Malnutrition, which affects over 230 million Africans, is attributed in part to a lack of trust in, and access to critical information about, new agricultural technologies, development programs and sustainable practices, and low farmer participation in the innovation process. A mobile application developed in Kenya and Nigeria to address the problem of malnutrition by linking farmers with key players in the agricultural sector, in order to facilitate access to relevant information that will improve crop yields, intake of nutritious crops and, ultimately, enhance rural livelihoods.
