How it works
Every farm is monitored from orbit and ground weather stations — continuously, automatically.
When risk climbs, Claude writes a clear alert in the farmer's own language with 3 actions.
If drought is confirmed, a parametric payout reaches the farmer's mobile money in seconds.
The moment that matters
No claim form. No inspector. No waiting weeks while the harvest dies. The measurement is the trigger — so the payout is instant, and cheap enough to reach everyone.
See it happen liveNo hardware required
Drones watch one field at a time and someone has to fly them. AgriWatch reads free, global Sentinel-2 imagery that already revisits every farm on Earth every few days — then fuses it with rainfall and forecast data so clouds never blind us.
Built for the last mile
AI-written alerts in Arabic, Swahili, French and English — warm, simple, and actionable.
Works over WhatsApp and SMS. A basic handset is all a farmer needs to be covered.
Parametric triggers mean money moves the instant data confirms loss — no paperwork.
Crop imagery and rainfall combine, so a cloudy day never leaves a farm unwatched.
Farmers register with a single message. Replies are answered in their language.
One satellite pass covers thousands of farms — built for millions, not dozens.
Pricing
Premiums are tiny because payouts are automatic. Most farmers are sponsored by co-ops, NGOs and governments — so coverage reaches the people who need it.
Then ≈ $3 / season for an individual smallholder plot.
For co-ops, microfinance and input suppliers covering many farmers at once.
For governments, insurers and NGOs running national-scale resilience programmes.
Indicative pricing for a hackathon demo — real premiums are set with reinsurance partners.
