Farm sensors
for Kenyan agriculture

Real-time soil, water and weather data collected from your field — delivered as actionable insights to your phone. Via SMS or WhatsApp. No internet required in the field.

Why sensors?

The data gap between average
and excellent harvests

Kenya's average maize yield is 1.8 t/ha — yet properly monitored land can produce four to six times that. The difference isn't luck. It's information. Our sensors sit in your field around the clock, capturing the data that separates a good season from a great one.

Our sensors

Three sensor types.
One connected system.

Each sensor feeds into the same platform — giving you a complete picture of your farm conditions in one place.

How it works

From field to phone in three steps

No Wi-Fi at the sensor. No complex setup. Just install, collect, and act on your data.

01

Sensors collect data

Field-ready sensors measure soil, water, and weather conditions continuously — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Fully weatherproof, built for Kenyan conditions.

02

LoRaWAN transmits it

We use LoRaWAN — a long-range, low-power wireless technology — to securely send data from remote fields to our servers. No SIM card or Wi-Fi required at the sensor.

03

You get insights

Our platform analyses your data and sends science-based recommendations directly to your phone via SMS, WhatsApp, or our app. Act at the right moment — not too late.

What you can do with sensor data

Built for how Kenyan farms actually work

From smallholder maize farms in the Rift Valley to commercial horticulture in Central Kenya — our sensors adapt to your crop and your conditions.

  • 01
    Know exactly when to irrigate
    Soil moisture data tells you when your field is drying out — and stops you wasting water when it doesn't need it.
  • 02
    Detect fall armyworm conditions early
    Temperature and humidity patterns precede FAW outbreaks. Get an early warning — and spray only when it actually matters.
  • 03
    Apply fertiliser based on actual soil data
    Track NPK levels in real time. Apply CAN or DAP when your soil needs it — not on a fixed calendar schedule.
  • 04
    Track long-term soil health trends
    See how soil health evolves across seasons. Catch acidification or nutrient depletion before it becomes a yield crisis.
Maize · Rift Valley
Season monitoring for smallholder maize
Track soil moisture, temperature, and FAW risk conditions across an entire growing season. Know exactly when conditions call for action.
Soil sensor Weather station
Potatoes · Central Kenya
Early blight & late blight prevention
Blight thrives in specific humidity and temperature windows. Monitor those conditions and intervene before disease takes hold.
Weather station Soil sensor
Hydroponics · Nairobi
Water quality & nutrient optimisation
Maintain optimal pH, EC, and nutrient composition in your hydroponic system — automatically, with real-time alerts when values drift.
