Project Details
Description
A low-cost soil fertility sensor system, leveraging materials like newspaper, soot, and plant enzymes, is being developed to improve food security for smallholder farmers in Kenya. This project aims to empower farmers with real-time data to optimize their agricultural practices and improve crop yields. The initiative is a collaboration between universities in the UK and Kenya, utilizing a "co-creation" philosophy to develop user-led solutions.
