Key Issues Considered in the Development of FarmSuite
As one of the largest causes of environmental issues ranging from deforestation to greenhouse gas emissions, how agriculture is practiced has to change or be controlled. Agricultural activities contribute about 20% of total greenhouse emissions with scale farming being a critical contributor due to often inefficient methods. Moreover, 70% of the nations’ freshwater resources are used in agricultural practices which indicates the dire need for the conservation of water resources. In Kenya for instance, more than 75% of the food supply is from smallholder farms. These farmers, in most cases, do not have tools, resources or information that are pertinent for their farming practice.
