Smallholder farmers in North Rift and similar rain-fed agricultural zones rely on generic, county- or region-level seasonal forecasts that frequently diverge from what actually happens on their specific plot. This mismatch — worsened by the lack of insurance cover — leads to planting-window errors, crop failure, and unmanaged risk. The farmers who need the most precise information have the least access to it, and existing digital advisory tools are rarely both hyper-local (tied to exact coordinates) and low-bandwidth accessible (WhatsApp/SMS rather than apps or web dashboards). The design goals are> 1. Hyper-local accuracy – advisories tied to the farmer's registered GPS point, not administrative boundaries. 2. Zero-app-install accessibility – WhatsApp Business API as primary channel, plain SMS as fallback for feature phones/no data. 3. Agentic, not just automated – a coordinated set of AI agents that fetch, reconcile, forecast, reason, and communicate, rather than a single rigid pipeline. 4. Ground-truthed – EO and reanalysis data reconciled against in-situ automatic weather stations (AWS) and farmer-reported observations, so the system self-corrects when satellite/model data drifts from reality
