Challenge
For many reasons, smallholder farmers struggle to use their irrigation systems efficiently to ensure optimal crop growth. One of the reasons is the lack of control over the system, particularly when they’re not in the field.
Solution
GB Tech helps producers improve their water management and increase productivity while alleviating the labor required. They developed a remote control technology for managing watering systems where the irrigation system is controlled simply by sending an SMS. The innovation works with any kind of phone and can be used without internet allowing for a more sensitive and sustainable use of water while reducing the workload and effort of farmers.
