Learn how we are transforming agricultural extension with AI
AI for farming advice
Who we are
At Digital Green, we’re helping small-scale farmers get the support they need—when they need it. Our AI-powered assistant, FarmerChat, delivers free, real-time, climate-smart, and locally relevant advice in farmers’ own languages through text, video, and voice. With just a phone in hand, farmers can make confident decisions, adapt to climate challenges, and grow their incomes.
How We Work
At Digital Green, we’re constantly improving how we support farmers. We adopt processes informed by real-time feedback from farmers, expert review, and collaboration with world-class researchers, government agencies, and private sector partners. This helps us deliver advice that is timely, trusted, and grounded in both science and local knowledge. Our vision is that everyone engaged in farming has access to high-quality, locally relevant advice and real choices in services and markets. By putting the right tools in farmers’ hands, we help them make informed decisions and build food secure, climate-resilient, and prosperous lives.
Our Impact
Leveraging innovative technology, including an AI assistant, Digital Green flips the paradigm of agricultural extension by enabling frontline agricultural extension workers and farmers to drive innovation, make better decisions for their communities, and inform researchers and policymakers.
