About Digital Green:

We are a multidisciplinary team that unites front and back end engineering with data, human centered design and product management.

We are Empathetic and inclusive in our design that enables those most in need to capitalize on the promise of new technologies

Some of the problems we are working on right now:

How can data from disparate sources like IoT sensors, satellite imagery, hyperlocal weather stations and government databases be combined to generate targeted, contextual relevant advisories for farmers? What are the most effective communication channels for reaching smallholder farmers around the world? Smartphone penetration and data connectivity continues to increase so this is dynamic and highly variable by geography. Messaging apps like whatsapp and telegram, IVR, mobile apps. How can AI and NLP be applied to create vernacular language voice recognition that promotes inclusivity and extends the value of technology to groups typically left behind including women How can we apply machine learning and other advanced data analysis techniques to generate insights that enable smallholder farmers to increase their income? How do we generate and manage data in a manner that is not extractive or exploitive but puts agency and control in the hands of farmers?
