Idlefarmer

We built Idlefarmer inspired by our work with Ceres Food Bank, where we saw small-scale farmers struggle with high costs and limited resources. My personal experiences innovating and building solutions to Africa's most pressing issues drove me to create a solution that makes farming efficient, affordable, and resilient. Idlefarmer stands out by integrating satellite imagery, GPS coordination, and hyperlocal agents to connect farmers to shared mechanization and bulk inputs, cutting costs by up to 30%. Unlike traditional alternatives, it creates digital farmer records for credit access and boosts tractor utilization, turning small farms into investable micro-enterprises. I’m most proud of how Idlefarmer empowers farmers from our pilots, we will see significant cost reductions and yield increases, transforming their livelihoods and opening doors to financial inclusion, which feels like a real step toward sustainable agriculture.
