Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>OpenHarvest, a digital application that was developed by one of the worlds technology company, IBM\u00ae \u2014 in collaboration with global non-profit Heifer International \u2014 has proved successful for over 200 smallholder farmers in Mchinji District to<\/p>\n

Developed through the IBM Sustainability Accelerator, the OpenHarvest app is set to empower more Malawian smallholder farmers through technology and a community ecosystem.<\/p>\n

A statement from the two institutions, says Malawian farmers used to rely on predictable rain seasons but that is steadily shifting due to climate change and when the rainy season arrives later than expected, many still follow outdated agronomy practices that may lead them to plant too early or too late.<\/p>\n

The project took cognizance that Malawi is landlocked country and home to rich, arable land and a subtropical climate suitable for farming.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, over 80% of the population is employed in agriculture, and their livelihood revolves around alternating rainy and dry seasons that dictate how the year\u2019s planting, growing and harvesting will unfold.<\/p>\n

\u201cSmallholder farmers lack access to hyperlocal weather forecasting and data that can help increase their crops\u2019 chances of success, which jeopardizes the productivity and profitability of their season.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir challenges are compounded further by inherent and unavoidable farming risks, such as pests, contamination and natural disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thus it was considered that with access to advanced technology, smart farming recommendations and specialized weather forecasts, farmers can build resilient and flexible operations that can help maximize their fields\u2019 productive potential.<\/p>\n

OpenHarvest was devised to close the digital divide that they were challenged with. It is an open source platform with a mobile application that expands access to visual agricultural data, delivers specialized recommendations to farmers through AI and climate modelling, and enables better farm and field management.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe OpenHarvest model assigns each participating farmer\u2019s field a set of latitude-longitude points that trigger comprehensive recommendations according to local weather and crop growth stages.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, it monitors soil composition data (nitrogen, phosphorous and other nutrient levels) to identify how fertilizers should be applied.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement further says right from the beginning, Heifer International and IBM sought to develop a low-cost tool that maximizes output.<\/p>\n

\u201cA serverless architecture was ideal to keep infrastructure costs to a minimum under a \u2018pay-per-use\u2019 model. IBM Cloud Code Engine allowed IBM developers to reduce time to deployment and focus on core objectives for Heifer International and the farms at the heart of the project \u2014 namely, being cost-effective, scalable and reliable.<\/p>\n

\u201cHistorically, Malawian farmers have relied on generalized weather information transmitted via radio to make operational decisions. Most farmers do not own smartphones, so Heifer International and IBM had to find an information-sharing method that could transmit precise crop and soil management recommendations generated by the OpenHarvest model, while remaining accessible and affordable to the end user. The solution was an SMS text message.<\/p>\n

\u201cIBM Consulting also brought their sustainability experience to the pilot deployment of the OpenHarvest solution, joining a project ecosystem that included Heifer International\u2019s community facilitators, volunteers from a local university in Malawi and smallholder farmers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was crucial to support farmers not only with smart technology, but with a network of hands-on experts to help build trust and implement solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taking cognizance that climate change is not the only risk that smallholder farmers encounter in Malawi, whose economy relies on agriculture, \u201cfarmers have limited access to affordable credit or competitive markets\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cycle of poverty and lack of access to capital have historically pushed farmers in Malawi to purchase cheaper supplies (like recycled seed) which can result in low yields and subpar crops.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this reason, access to affordable capital can be an essential component to promote environmentally resilient practices and drive behavioural change.<\/p>\n

\u201cIBM and Heifer International saw an opportunity to incentivize farmers to adopt best agricultural practices through a digital extension solution, while simultaneously facilitating connections to access finance and the formal market.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, the OpenHarvest platform is differentiated by this structure, which encourages farmers to embrace digital technology and retain new farming practices \u2014 leading to long-term profitability and success in a changing environment and economy.<\/p>\n

Having attained positive impact in Mchinji where OpenHarvest reached out to 200 users that translated to about 1,000 direct beneficiaries \u2014 from an average family size of about 5 people \u2014 Heifer International plans to expand it to other districts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pilot deployment has now concluded with the sale of the year\u2019s crops,\u201d said the statement. \u201cCompared to previous years, most farmers saw increased yields, with some participants even doubling or tripling their output for the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a next step, Heifer International plans to onboard around 300 additional farmers and expand the project into Kasungu. Looking ahead, the program is also evaluating other innovations, such as building out robust AI models and AI integrations based on a roadmap developed with IBM.<\/p>\n

\u201cIBM and Heifer International are proud to help to change lives in Malawi and build sustainable farming solutions alongside farmers and their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
