How can technology improve smallholder farmers lives? 

This space summarizes the process of my research
and the conclusions that I´ve got
from the interventions I have made.

Previous Facts

The world we are living in.

2/3

Of the world poorest population,


work in something related to agriculture. That means they live with less than USD $2 daily,

WORLD BANK

1.3

Billion tons of food are wasted every year


2/3 of it gets
wasted before arriving
to the markets.

That food could feed
1.6 billion people
in a year.

FAO

1.2

Billion people live
in hunger or undernourishment situation worldwide


Even dough we are producing enough food to feed the world population.

By 2050 we will need to produce 70% more food to feed the 9.8 billion humans expected population.

FAO / UN

3.5º C

Will be the planet temperature increase


If we continue with the actual carbon emissions.

That will generate, extreme weathers with droughts and floods that will make it very difficult to farm.

It is expected that climate change mobilize around 143 million people by 2050.

Covid-19
Weak Signals

Food situation caused by the Pandemic.

Supply chain

The supply chain has been affected due the closing of restaurants, airports and frontiers. A big amount of food is wasted because it is not being selled.

Interconected Farmers

Producers and consumers are starting to connect almost directly through social media, whatsapp or mobile apps that deliver vegetables, fruit and meat directly from the farm to your house.

Home Farmers

People are learning how to grow their own food at home, motivated by the inital covid scarcity and the free time they have. Growing from seeds taken from the food or froms scraps of food, is becoming more popular.

New Normal

After Covid 19, this is the new normal or how my project has taken shape into what it is.

Farmi Kit

P.O.W.A.R
Plant Observatory of Weather Adaptability for Resilience

I have decided to turn my idea of the climate simulator into a kit that children can assemble at school as a STEAM approach, in which when they build it, they learn a little code, networking, electronics and digital manufacturing, at the same time they can learn about climate change, plant biology and agriculture.
