  • AI-Driven Crop Disease Diagnosis 2022
    AgriPredict

    AgriPredict developed a machine learning-based mobile and USSD platform that allows Zambian small-scale farmers to identify crop diseases by uploading photos. The system uses computer vision to provide instant treatment recommendations and early warning alerts for pests like Fall Armyworm.

    The platform reached over 90,000 registered users across all Zambian provinces, significantly reducing response times to pest infestations and improving crop yields for participating farmers.
