Automated pollinator monitoring for improved Crop Health in Sub-Saharan Africa

这项为期3个月的可行性研究将探讨如何在非洲南萨哈拉地区实施授粉服务管理的自动化系统。为了探索这一想法，我们正在肯尼亚、尼日利亚和南非这三个代表非洲不同地理和经济地区的国家进行研究。该项目将使我们能够在目标国家内调查和建立合作伙伴关系，以降低发展我们创新想法的风险。我们的建议是使用农业声音公司基于麦克风的新型传粉器监测设备和Regen Farm平台的农业数据管理平台，以一种全新的建议实施，以支持非洲的授粉服务。设想的产品将通过向农民提供有关传粉者和生物多样性丰度的可行反馈，帮助提高农业生产力和可持续性。

This 3-month feasibility study will explore how to implement an automated system for pollination services management in SubSaharan Africa. In order to explore this idea we are conducting studies in three countries, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, representing different geographical and economic regions of Africa.The project will allow us to investigate and build co-operative partnerships within the target countries in order to de-risk the proposition of developing our innovative idea. Our proposition is to use the novel microphone-based pollinator monitoring device of Agrisound along with the agricultural data-management platform of Regen Farm Platform, implemented in an entirely new proposition to support pollination services in Africa. The envisaged product will help to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability by giving farmers actionable feedback on pollinator and biodiversity abundance.
