Structural Problem

The architecture of global climate finance was never designed for the field.

Smallholder farmers steward 80% of Sub-Saharan Africa's arable land and produce 70% of its food, yet receive less than 3% of global agricultural investment. They are structurally excluded from the climate markets designed to reward their work.

AgriKonnekt rebuilds the verification infrastructure from the ground up. Designed for a feature phone, not a boardroom.

Climate Intelligence Collection

From soil sensor to satellite to cloud — verified carbon in 24 hours.

Data Architecture

Five layers. One tamper-evident record.

A five-layer pipeline converts real-time field measurements into globally accepted carbon verification evidence without requiring the farmer to touch anything beyond a feature phone.

01 — Field
Arduino IoT Sensor

On-plot device measures soil carbon, moisture, pH, and organic matter. AI inference runs locally with zero cloud dependency.

02 — Comms
USSD Transmission

Compressed sensor data transmitted via USSD over GSM. Works on any feature phone with no data plan required across the region.

03 — Satellite
Sentinel-2 Validation

10m-resolution imagery provides independent NDVI and soil carbon proxy validation for every enrolled cooperative plot.

04 — Cloud
AI Verification Engine

Dual-source data streams are fused, anomaly-detected, and processed producing a time-stamped tamper-evident record in the climate wallet.

05 — Output
Mobile Direct Payment

Carbon credit issued automatically. Direct mobile disbursement to individual farmer account. Complete cycle within 24 hours of soil reading.

Field Operations

Where We Work

AgriKonnekt deploys across East Africa through cooperative networks. Every region selected has documented untapped soil carbon potential, under-served cooperative capacity, and an unfulfilled claim on global climate finance.

Active · 6 Counties
Kenya

Primary operations since 2024. Murang’a, Nakuru, Kilifi, Kisumu, Meru, and Kakamega counties. 1,500+ farmers enrolled. 24,000 tonnes of annual carbon sequestration potential verified.

Launching 2027
Uganda

Cooperative scoping complete across Western and Central Uganda. Focus on coffee and banana value chains with high soil carbon sequestration potential. Partnership with local agricultural cooperatives underway.

Scoping 2027
Tanzania

Market assessment and cooperative mapping in progress across the Southern Highlands. Potential for integration with existing WFP purchase-for-progress programmes and regional food system initiatives.

Circular Economy

Waste becomes wealth. A closed loop.

Every waste stream intercepted generates a production input. Every input improves yields. Every improved yield generates verified carbon. Every verified credit pays farmers and funds the next cycle.

Four waste streams. One complete input.

Tested by Cropnuts to ISO/IEC 17025 standards. Every batch verified before cooperative delivery. Organic Carbon at 31.1% exceeds the FAO high biological activity threshold.

🌾
Source 01 — Commercial Farms
Crop residues intercepted before field burning. Zero cost, high-carbon feedstock that rebuilds soil biology at cooperative scale.
🥩
Source 02 — Slaughterhouses
Blood and bone meal diverted from waterways. The nitrogen engine of the formulation at 1.72% total nitrogen.
♻️
Source 03 — Cooperative Residues
Vegetable trimmings and organic waste. Builds cooperative ownership of the entire input supply chain.
Source 04 — Renewable Energy Digestate
Mineral-rich geothermal and biogas by-products eliminate a waste stream at the energy site simultaneously.

One compost. Every nutrient. Field-ready.

Sample CK735CM0001. Crop Nutrition Laboratory Services Ltd., Limuru, Kenya. Every figure below is a verified laboratory result.

Organic Carbon (C)31.1%
Above FAO high biological activity threshold. Directly supports carbon sequestration claims and credit issuance.
Total Nitrogen (N)1.72%
2.4 kg N per hectare per tonne applied. Substantially reduces commercial CAN and urea dependency.
Phosphorus (P)1.65%
8.25 times above guide low. Replaces DAP and TSP, the highest single-input cost in East African cropping systems.
Potassium (K)1.71%
4.28 times above guide low. Significantly reduces muriate of potash dependency across enrolled cooperative plots.
Calcium (Ca)4.52%
7.5 times above guide low. Provides liming-equivalent benefit on acidic Kenyan soils without additional lime application.
C:N Ratio18.1
Exactly within FAO optimal range of 15 to 20 for fully mature, plant-available compost ready for immediate field application.
Why Compost Changes Everything

Smallholder farmers cannot afford the 4 to 6 separate commercial fertilisers needed for complete plant nutrition. AgriKonnekt's compost replaces every one with a single community-produced input. The cost is labour, not cash.

🌿
One input. Complete.
All six macro and micronutrients in a single community-produced application.
