项目摘要

In Rwanda, 1million+ smallholder farmers who wish to provide a nutritious protein and plant-based diet while increasing yields to support economic growth are limited by: high capital costs for high yield solutions, basic farming techniques, lack of food security and consistent rainfall, few routes to market, and a dependency trap reliant on other solutions. NjordFrey (NF), offers these farmers access to sustainably designed aquaponic starter kits via an outgrower model, seasonal input product lines (e.g. seeds & fingerlings), operational training to become independent, and facilitate routes to market. In collaboration with University of West of Scotland (UWS) this project develops a digital farm health monitoring system with a high-tech back end (distributed sensing and data analytics framework) with low-tech front end approach (sms/voice call) to feedback actions to farmers in an inclusive manner. This provides NF with a data driven product to capture market share in Rwanda,removes high up-front costs and technical barriers, provides increased yields of organic produce, increases calorie intake by 28% and income by 4-fold for up to 80,000 farmers and their families, via 2,000+ farms within 10 years. Tackling malnutrition to improve livelihoods through this model is an innovative first within Rwanda.

在卢旺达，100多万希望在增加产量的同时提供营养蛋白质和植物性饮食以支持经济增长的小农受到以下因素的限制：高产解决方案的资本成本高、基本农业技术、缺乏粮食安全和持续的降雨、进入市场的路线很少以及依赖其他解决方案的依赖陷阱。NjordFrey(NF)为这些农民提供可持续设计的水培发酵剂套件，通过外生者模式、季节性投入产品线(例如种子和鱼苗)、操作培训以实现独立，并为进入市场提供便利。该项目与苏格兰西部大学(UWS)合作开发了一个数字农场健康监测系统，该系统具有高科技后端(分布式传感和数据分析框架)和低技术前端方法(短信/语音呼叫)，以包容的方式向农民反馈行动。这为NF提供了一种数据驱动的产品来占领卢旺达的市场份额，消除了高昂的前期成本和技术壁垒，提高了有机农产品的产量，将卡路里摄入量增加了28%，并在10年内通过2,000多个农场为多达80,000名农民及其家庭增加了4倍的收入。通过这一模式解决营养不良以改善生计在卢旺达是一个创新的先例。
