Sustainability is at the heart of Farmia IoT’s mission. By enabling smallholder farmers to adopt eco-friendly practices, Farmia IoT is transforming agriculture into a force for environmental stewardship. One of the key initiatives driving this transformation is the introduction of carbon credits, which rewards farmers financially for reducing their carbon footprint.
Farmia IoT equips farmers with tools to conserve water, use fertiliser efficiently and minimize pesticide application. These efforts reduce gas emissions and qualify the farmers for carbon credits, which they can sell to generate additional income. For example, Farmia’s pilot farms saved over 214,000 liters of water, reduced CO₂ emissions through optimized pesticide use and cut down fertilizer use by 20%, leading to a healthier environment and improved soil quality.Carbon credits represent a win-win solution: Farmers benefit financially, and the planet benefits from reduced emissions. Farmia IoT is committed to empowering farmers with the tools and knowledge to practice conservation and earn rewards for sustainable farming. By embracing eco-friendly practices, smallholders are making a significant impact on climate change while securing their livelihoods.
