NjordFrey have partnered with CAREED (Centre for African Research on Enterprise and Economic Development) at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) to develop a Digital Farm Monitoring System that will increase the performance and intelligence of our solutions. This project was funded by Innovate UK Agri-tech Catalyst Competition in Nov 2019 to Jan 2022.
As part of this project we engaged with 342 smallholder farmers in Rwanda, considering Gender & Social Inclusion, logistics and fish health to deeply understand their pain points and gain insightful feedback on our proposed solution.
Through the project we also developed a data collection prototype to measure key information on the farm to ensure maximised production. We continued to work alongside UWS to
Interface - A great organisation that helped us connect with UWS and raised our profile during the programme.
