The Problem We Are Solving

Climate uncertainty is undermining farming decisions, yields, and livelihoods for millions of smallholder farmers across Uganda.

Why Smallholder Farmers Are Increasingly Vulnerable

Traditional farming knowledge alone is no longer sufficient. Changing rainfall patterns, rising temperatures, and frequent extreme events have made farming riskier and less predictable.

Unreliable climate data

Unreliable and generalized weather forecasts

Most farmers receive broad regional forecasts that do not reflect village-level realities, leading to mistimed planting and crop failure.

Extreme weather impact

Lack of early warning for extreme events

Floods, droughts, heatwaves, and storms often strike without notice, leaving farmers unprepared and exposed to devastating losses.

Seasonal uncertainty

Limited access to seasonal climate insights

Farmers rarely receive advance information about delayed rains or shortened seasons, affecting crop choice and financial planning.

Climate literacy gap

Low climate literacy and actionable guidance

Even when climate data exists, it is often technical and inaccessible, preventing farmers from turning information into action.

These Challenges Demand Practical Solutions
