Smart Drip-Irrigation Kit

What It Is

The Smart Drip-Irrigation Kit is a low-pressure subsoil drip irrigation system that delivers water directly to the root zone of plants, including crops like coffee and grapes. It includes integrated moisture sensors to monitor soil water levels, a solar- powered data logger to track irrigation events, and real-time alerts delivered via Android app or USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) for farmers without smartphones.

How It Helps

By precisely delivering water where plants need it most, this system reduces water waste by up to 30% while ensuring crops receive consistent moisture. Our IT-driven field intelligence platforms provide real-time insights, enabling farmers to optimize irrigation schedules, even in remote areas with limited connectivity.

Farmer Benefit

Farmers save water, reduce labor, and achieve higher yields with efficient, targeted watering.

Solar-Powered Soil Aeration Toolset

What It Is

The Solar-Powered Soil Aeration Toolset consists of a handheld rotary tiller powered by a portable solar battery pack. It creates 5-10 cm micro-channels in the soil, improving aeration, root penetration, and water infiltration.

How It Helps

By loosening compacted soil and creating pathways for air, water, and nutrients, this tool enhances soil health and structure. It's particularly effective in heavy or degraded soils common in the Sahel, where poor soil conditions limit crop growth.

Farmer Benefit

Farmers experience 25%+ higher yields as plants develop stronger root systems, absorb more nutrients, and become more resilient to drought.

Performance-Based Leasing (AgriLease)

What It Is

AgriLease is a financing model that allows farmers to access AquaSoil's hardware solutions with zero upfront cost. Monthly lease payments are tied to harvest volume or cash flow, and farmers have the option to purchase the equipment outright after three years.

How It Helps

This "pay-as-you-grow” model removes the financial barrier to adopting new technology, aligning AquaSoil’s revenue with farmers’ success. It also includes maintenance and support services to ensure long-term functionality.

Farmer Benefit

Farmers can invest in proven technology without risking their limited capital, accelerating adoption and improving farm productivity.

Digital Agronomy Platform

What It Is

The Digital Agronomy Platform is a mobile and USSD-based tool that provides farmers with seasonal e-learning modules, crop calendars, water budgeting guides, and integrated pest management (IPM) advice. It also includes quarterly on-site visits by trained agronomists and WhatsApp support groups for real-time assistance.

How It Helps

By delivering actionable knowledge directly to farmers' phones, the platform helps them make informed decisions about planting, watering, and pest control. The on-site visits and support groups ensure farmers receive personalized guidance and can troubleshoot issues promptly.

Farmer Benefit

Farmers gain the skills and confidence to optimize their practices, leading to higher yields and better resource management.

Data & Analytics Service

What It Is

The Data & Analytics Service aggregates field telemetry data—such as moisture levels, irrigation events, and yields—into an anonymized "Yield Risk Intelligence" dashboard. This data is licensed to partners like input suppliers, insurers, and NGOs.

How It Helps

By analyzing aggregated data, partners gain insights into crop performance, water kusage patterns, and yield risks, enabling them to tailor their services and products to farmers’ needs. The anonymization ensures farmer data privacy while creating value for the broader agricultural ecosystem.

Farmer Benefit

Farmers benefit indirectly through improved services (e.g., better seed recommendations, insurance products) and directly through data-driven decision support.

Training & Workshop Packages

What It Is

Training & Workshop Packages are hands-on, group-based learning sessions offered to farmer cooperatives and development agencies. Topics include practical use of AquaSoil tools, water management techniques, soil health improvement, and climate- smart farming practices.

How It Helps

These workshops build farmers’ capacity to use technology effectively and adopt sustainable practices. They also foster peer learning and community support, strengthening the overall resilience of farming communities.

Farmer Benefit

Farmers leave with practical skills, a deeper understanding of their farms, and a network of fellow farmers to rely on.

Together, these solutions form a holistic ecosystem that addresses the root causes of low yields and resource inefficiency. By integrating technology, financing, and knowledge, AquaSoil is helping smallholder farmers grow more with less—today and for generations to come.
