Farmers often face challenges in adopting regenerative agriculture, including limited knowledge, fear of profitability loss, and access to resources, hindering sustainable transitions. Zowasel is addressing these barriers by leveraging data science, technology, and nature-based solutions to support 4,000 sorghum farmers in Tanzania’s Singida and Tabora regions. Through its Digital Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (D-MRV) system, Zowasel enables transparent monitoring, analytics, and reporting for Diageo’s sorghum value chain, transforming it from a carbon source to a carbon sink.
Farmers earn carbon incentives and access ethical financing via Zowasel’s AI-powered Alternative Credit Evaluation Scoring System, ensuring sustainable practices, increased earnings, and resilient communities.
