What specific problem are you solving?
Across Sub-Saharan Africa, over 60% of the population relies on agriculture, yet smallholder farmers remain highly vulnerable to climate change. In Nigeria, more than 38 million smallholders produce 90% of the food supply, but they face worsening droughts, erratic rainfall, pest outbreaks, and degraded soils. These farmers often lack access to the digital tools and data they need to adapt to climate impacts.
Scaregrow tackles this by providing an affordable, solar-powered, AI-driven farm management system. It uses IoT sensors to collect real-time data on environmental conditions, enabling smallholders to make informed decisions, reduce water and pesticide use, and increase yields.
While precision agriculture exists globally, it rarely reaches underserved communities. Scaregrow bridges this gap, bringing climate-smart innovation to those who need it most. By democratizing access to technology, we aim to build more resilient food systems and reduce the vulnerability of millions facing climate-induced food insecurity.
What is your solution?
Scaregrow is a climate-smart, farm management system designed to help smallholder farmers adapt to the impacts of climate change. It combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design to provide real-time, data-driven insights that improve farming practices. At its core, Scaregrow uses solar-powered Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to monitor environmental factors such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and rainfall.
The data collected by these sensors is processed by an AI-powered mobile app, which then provides actionable insights and automated alerts. These alerts help farmers manage pests, diseases, and optimize crop management. Scaregrow empowers farmers to make informed decisions, reducing resource wastage like water and pesticides while boosting crop yields.
The solution is scalable, affordable, and accessible even in underserved rural communities. By using simple mobile technology, Scaregrow democratizes access to precision agriculture tools, helping farmers build resilience against climate change while improving productivity and food security.

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Scaregrow serves smallholder farmers, particularly those in underserved communities across Sub-Saharan Africa, where climate change is severely affecting agriculture. These farmers often struggle with unpredictable weather patterns, limited access to modern farming tools, and low productivity. Despite their critical role in food security, they lack the resources and knowledge to effectively manage their farms in the face of climate challenges.
Our solution directly impacts these farmers by providing them with a simple, affordable, and accessible tool to make smarter decisions. Scaregrow’s real-time data, powered by solar IoT sensors and an AI-driven mobile app, helps farmers monitor environmental conditions, manage pests and diseases, and optimize water and pesticide use. This increases crop yields, reduces wastage, and enhances resilience to climate change. By empowering farmers with actionable insights, Scaregrow improves food security, reduces environmental impact, and ultimately raises the standard of living for these underserved communities.
