Mission Statement

Creating a world where farmers use technology and data to build prosperous communities

About This Cause

Digital Green builds the capacity of farmers, farmer groups, and advisory systems to deliver more relevant, contextualized and actionable advisory, finance, and market services. Our partnerships with trusted government agencies, our ability to leverage local farmer networks, and our community-led approach means that our work is sustainable, scalable, and accessible to farmers who are difficult to reach with traditional extension methods. Our proven digital advisory model embraces collective learning, storytelling, and role modeling to inspire change with actionable, demand-driven content. To date, we have reached over 2.5 million small-scale farmers in India. By 2025, we will scale our reach in India to 5.7 million farmers, serving at least 75% women. We will support these farmers in realizing a 25% increase in their net income and improving their climate resilience. We will do this by: • Working with public extension providers to develop and deliver localized, climate smart, agricultural advisory content informed by farmer feedback and delivered via integrated digital channels, including our community video approach and complementary channels such as WhatsApp. • Strengthening farmer groups and farmer producer organizations by improving communication with members and improving the value proposition groups offer, such as driving down the cost of inputs via aggregated group purchases, negotiation of more competitive sale prices, and investment in assets that improve members’ market competitiveness. • Developing open-source tools for data sharing and protection that build public sector and farmer organization data capacity. One key tool is FarmStack, a framework that paves the way for new data-driven business models by enabling customizable and enforceable data protections and end-to-end encryption. Fostering coordination among agricultural ecosystem actors through secure information sharing reduces costs and increases efficiency across the system. Organizations benefit from a better understanding of farmer needs, and farmers benefit from access to more tailored and timely services, products and information. Third-party randomized controlled trials have shown that our community-based video-enabled extension approach • Reaches 30% more farmers; • Delivers a 43% gain in practice adoption rates; • Results in yield increases of up to 47% and income increases of 17% • At one eighth of the cost of traditional extension methods.
