Developing and field-testing three new drought-resistant maize varieties adapted for southern African conditions. Trials are conducted across 12 sites in Zimbabwe and Botswana with over 300 participating farmers.

Deploying satellite imagery, drone monitoring, and IoT soil sensors across 50 farms in Tanzania and Botswana. The programme aims to demonstrate that precision agriculture can boost smallholder yields by 30% while reducing input costs.

Identifying and propagating heat-tolerant, high-yield cattle genetics suitable for southern African rangelands. The project includes AI-assisted breeding selection and a regional semen distribution programme serving 300+ farms.

Comprehensive soil health mapping programme covering 50,000 hectares across Botswana, creating detailed fertility maps and generating customised fertilisation recommendations for each soil zone.

Designing, deploying, and evaluating low-cost rainwater harvesting systems for smallholder farms in semi-arid northern Tanzania. Target of 500 installations with integrated drip irrigation kits.

Built and launched an SMS and USSD-based agricultural extension platform delivering crop advisories, weather alerts, and market prices to 15,000 farmers across Zimbabwe and Tanzania in local languages.

Developing a standardised methodology and digital MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, Verification) platform for agricultural carbon credits in sub-Saharan Africa, enabling smallholder farmers to access voluntary carbon markets.

Tackling the estimated 30-40% post-harvest losses in grain crops through improved storage solutions, hermetic bags, solar dryers, and farmer training on harvest handling best practices across central Tanzania.
