In the framework of the KILIMO project, ITK company has implemented its Cropwin model with carbon dynamics indicators. Cropwin is a state of the art Decision Support System to manage farming practices towards environmental efficiency and farm profitability for annual cereals (maize, wheat, soybean).
The KILIMO system is now up and running to support kenyan farmers and extension services for a more efficient and sustainable agriculture!
The KILIMO project aims at:
Ending hunger, ensuring food security
Increasing sustainable and environmental agricultural maize production
Facilitating the work of Kenyan farmers on their small farms, through technology transfer and skill exchange
Supporting the development of agro-ecological practices in maize production, through satellite observation and agronomic modelling
Applying climate-smart technologies for agriculture using live carbon monitoring
The KILIMO project is supported by the French Ministry of Economy and Finance, which co-finances the export of French green technologies
