Challenges
Acute food insecurity has increased by 77% in Niger, when comparing averages over the past five years. These high numbers are a consequence of increasing droughts, advancing desert, and the infertility of crop soils caused by the effects of climate change which are impacting the area’s rainfall.
Solutions
Ipren was founded within this context, in order to offer solutions to help producers make cultivable areas more resilient and profitable despite the harsh circumstances. Ipren has developed an irrigation control kit based on artificial intelligence technology, which can detect in real time the need for irrigation according to the crops, the humidity of the environment, and the ambient temperature. It is able to be controled automatically without a third party.
