Solution Name:

Remote harvest animal feeds

One-line solution summary:

Platform where farmers or organization from regions with less arable land can grow affordable animal feed on other part of globe.

Pitch your solution.

One million hectares of arable land in Bosnia and Herzegovina is neglected.Unemployment Rate in Bosnia and Herzegovina decreased to 32.43 percent in March from 32.62 percent in February of 2020.

Once agriculture was the main pillar of countries economy. On the other hand, we have farmers struggling with extreme climate such as Iceland .

What specific problem are you solving?

Aim of this platform is an agency that would provide locals with sustainable formal employment and provide farmers, who produce milk and meat all over the globe with affordable animal feedstock. Remotely farmer chooses his parcel and stays involved in the whole process. Farmer is the one who picks the type of seed, fertilizer, watering management, and can check progress by drone any time he wants.
The crucial element of this concept is networking farmers from same geo-region, so cost of cargo airplane have minimal effect on food production.

What is your solution?

-farmer with drone can check field
-agriculture machinery is rented

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?

Agriculture workers in Bosnia and Herzegovina are considered formally as unemployed. By hard work, they are able to solve their existence, but some rights and benefits of employed persons are unreachable to them such as pension plan or health insurance, bank loan, or leasing a car.

Locally produced meat and milk in many areas can become more competitive in the local market.

Support small-scale producers with access to inputs, capital, and knowledge to improve yields while sustaining productivity of land and seas

Explain how the problem, your solution, and your solution’s target population relate to the Challenge and your selected dimension.

The global exchange of knowledge is very important. Domestic agriculture workers, who mostly don't have access to networking or seminars will every day learn from farmers who know-how maximize yields and optimally use every inch of land. Skills they adopt they will apply on their gardens, farms or greenhouses.
