The County Government of Nakuru and Enigma Four Agritech company have rolled out an Artificial Intelligence (AI) data-driven agricultural system aimed at providing real-time best farming practices to small-scale farmers in the region.
The system helps them build thriving and sustainable agricultural-related livelihoods.
The system dubbed 'AgriVuma platform' combines generative AI with localised agricultural insights, delivering information on topics such as weather patterns, soil health, market trends, and best practices in agriculture, ensuring that farmers are always ahead of the curve.
Agriculture Chief Officer Newton Mwaura said the platform will allow farmers to access verifiable information on common questions to guide their decisions, such as what to plant, when to plant, and weather advisories, among others.
