AI for agricultural extension
Who we are
Combining user-friendly AI with grassroots expertise, Digital Green is a global development organization working to boost the cost-effectiveness of public extension systems with an AI assistant for front line extension workers and farmers
How We Work
Digital Green partners with governments to upgrade the efficiency of their extension systems with an AI-powered assistant it has designed and developed in communities where extension agents live and work. This innovative technology empowers agents, especially women, to deliver customized advisories in local languages, helping farmers increase their productivity, incomes and climate-resilience at just a fraction of the cost of conventional solutions.
Our Impact
Leveraging innovative technology, including an AI assistant, Digital Green flips the paradigm of agricultural extension by enabling front line workers and farmers to drive innovation, make better decisions for their communities, and inform researchers and policymakers.
