Ignitia provides hyperlocal, AI-powered weather forecasts via SMS to smallholder tea farmers in Kenya and Uganda. By delivering daily and seasonal forecasts, planting advice, and early warnings, the service helps farmers make timely, informed decisions, thus reducing crop losses, optimising water, fertiliser, and pesticide use, and implementing soil and water conservation practices. This nature-positive approach enhances climate resilience, protects biodiversity, and supports sustainable tea production.
