SmartFarmer maps your soil, puts solar-powered sensors in your fields, greenhouses, sheds and water, and turns what they see into clear answers on your phone — then feeds, sprays and irrigates for you.
Soil probes report every 30 minutes
The right equipment for a sealed greenhouse is wrong for an open maize field. Greenhouses, open fields, net houses and hydroponics each get their own technology stack.
Fully enclosed polythene or glass houses where climate, water and nutrients can all be controlled.
Rain-fed and irrigated field crops, orchards and pasture — the largest area and the least measured.
Shade nets, insect-proof net houses and walk-in tunnels — partial protection at a fraction of the cost of a greenhouse.
Soil-less growing in nutrient solution or inert media — fastest growth, and no margin for error.
Monitor the soil, water, weather and animals. Automate irrigation, feeding and climate. Build the water and power where they are missing. Start with one and add more as you see the value.

Built for Kenyan farms
Field devices run on sunlight with a battery for the night. A single 4G link serves the whole farm. Devices are sealed for dust and rain, recover themselves after a network drop, and take updates remotely — so improvements never need a site visit.
Equipment: Soil moisture probe, Soil temperature probe, Soil nutrient (NPK) probe, Soil acidity (pH) probe, Soil salinity (EC) probe, Crop camera, Automatic zone valve, Tank level monitor, Water trough sensor, Animal & equipment tracker, Security camera, On-farm weather mast, Rain sensor & gauge, Temperature & humidity sensor, Air quality (CO₂) sensor, Greenhouse controller, Farm gateway, NDVI drone maps, M-Pesa PAYGo, Farm AI Assistant.
Farm AI Assistant
Crops, soil, irrigation, pests, livestock, greenhouses and hydroponics — in English or Kiswahili. Free, and strictly about farming.
Ask anything about farming — in English or Kiswahili. Try one of these:
Farming topics only. General advice — confirm pesticide and veterinary doses with the label, your agronomist or a vet.
A monitoring drone finds the problem from the air, a sprayer drone treats exactly those patches, and a ground inspection drone confirms what is happening under the canopy.
Maps the whole farm — RGB, multispectral NDVI and elevation — finding stress, gaps and broken lines early.
Treats exactly the flagged patches, including wet, steep and tall-crop ground a tractor cannot enter.
Drives the rows with cameras at crop height — under leaves and inside greenhouses — to confirm before you treat.
One team from the first walk to long after installation.
We walk the farm with you and understand what you grow or keep, and what is going wrong.
A specific plan — what goes where, how many, what it costs — with buy, lease or PAYGo options.
We fit and calibrate everything, and confirm each device is reporting before we leave.
We sit with your team until reading the dashboard is second nature.
We monitor the equipment remotely and come out when something needs a hand.
Tell us about your farm. We will walk it with you, free, and propose exactly what it needs.
Collecting readings is the easy part. The platform studies your soil, water, contamination tests and weather and explains its advice in your own numbers — advice you can argue with, not a black box.
Which crops suit your soil, water, contamination tests and weather — with the reasoning in your own numbers.
Short crops that go in and come off before the main season needs the land back.
Higher-value crops your ground can genuinely support, each with a predicted yield.
The yield you are on course for, and what is putting it at risk — while there is time to act.
What each crop needs from moisture at root depth and the weather — and exactly that much sent.
Which blocks consistently perform and which quietly cost you money every season.
Equipment is quoted per farm after a free visit. Then choose how you pay for it.
Pay once for the equipment. Own it from day one.
You own it: Immediately
A fixed monthly payment that covers equipment, platform and upkeep.
You own it: Option to buy at the end of the term, or renew and upgrade
A small deposit, then pay as you go by M-Pesa — daily, weekly or monthly.
You own it: When the final instalment is paid — then it is yours, with no further equipment payments
Crop guides and straight explanations of the things that decide yield.

Nothing. The first conversation is a walk around your farm to understand what you grow or keep and what is going wrong. No cost, no commitment.
We are based in Nairobi (Industrial Area) and work with farms across Kenya. Remote monitoring means support does not depend on distance; site visits are scheduled as needed.
No. Start with one block, one greenhouse or one shed and add more once you have seen it work. Most farms start with one area and grow from there.
Equipment and installation are quoted per farm, because no two farms need the same thing. The software is a subscription (Starter, Professional or Enterprise).
Yes. Systems can be bought outright, leased for a fixed monthly payment, or paid for by PAYGo — a small deposit and flexible M-Pesa instalments until the system is yours.
An AI assistant on this site that answers farming questions — crops, soil, water, pests, livestock, greenhouses and more. It only discusses farming and related topics. Inside the SmartFarmer dashboard, the assistant can also read your own farm’s data.
