Why Data Is the Farmer’s New Best Tool

Apr 7, 2025

The digital revolution isn’t just for cities. Farms across Africa are starting to benefit from data-powered decision-making. Thanks to sensors, mobile apps, and satellite feeds, farmers now have access to real-time data on soil health, carbon levels, and more.

At DweeTerra, our platform brings all of this together. A farmer can tap their phone and instantly see soil organic carbon levels, bulk density, and drought susceptibility. This makes it easier to plan irrigation, choose the right crops, and monitor the farm’s carbon footprint.

Data makes farming less risky and more profitable. It empowers farmers to catch problems early, reduce unnecessary inputs, and provide documented proof of their sustainable practices. As agriculture modernizes, data isn’t optional—it’s essential.
