Data for Agriculture

Our first mission is collecting agriculture data as food security is important to us

Agriculture, Africa's backbone, lacks timely and accurate raw data inhibiting evidence-based planning and decision making at all levels across the value chain. This drastically limits the growth of commercial agriculture and development in Africa because farmers cannot confidently make informed decisions, investors cannot identify and take advantage of the lucrative opportunities to channel their capital, and the government can neither predict nor measure the effects of their policies. All stakeholders are making poor decisions with their budgeted resources.

Uganda's GDP

UGANDA AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

37% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Close to 18.8 million or 77% of the Ugandan population depend on agriculture for their livelihoods and close to 50% of this is the rural population which entirely dependent on agriculture as their sole economic activity. (U.S. Library of Congress Data, Appendix 1)

Tougher climate and commodity price conditions are making it all the more relevant for farmers to use any information they can get their hands on. In Uganda, the data gap currently present in the agriculture industry, its most densely populated industry, by far affects the most number of people, is why Dbuntu Data choose to focus on Uganda's agricultural data first.

Data for Agriculture is a data driven platform with a mission to bridge the gap between data for social good and data for profit through field data collection & statistics.

Goals:

Increase food production
Reduce poverty and malnutrition
Map food deserts and improve food security
Empower communities

COMING SOON: DECEMBER 2018

Our model engages respondents actively involved in agricultural activities using our applications which provide services they need. We design and build mobile data collection products that deliver both near-term value to farmers and a platform for continuing development. This helps us get data-informed answers, map food deserts, increase overall food production and improve national food sovereignty. Our agriculture apps such as Data for Dairy empower agricultural businesses with data to optimize their food production & performance. It then allows Dbuntu Data to do real-time analyses of regional productivity, nutrition, food security, and information access with the data we collect. At Dbuntu Data we see beyond data collection! We explore where data is needed and make a plan.
