Digital Green: Alesha, Becky, Gelsey

Grameen Foundation: Gigi Gatti, Julian Gomez

 

Grameen Foundation and Cool Farm Alliance submitted a proposal to work together to integrate CoolFarm tool into their digital farm management plan and to monitor the effect of adoption of practices. Their proposal was not awarded but they are exploring partnerships to take this work forward.

Grameen Foundation works in India, mostly in UP but also in other geographies including Bihar. They have a project (not in Bihar, but other geographies) working with FPOs to help introduce technologies to them (including digital tools, agtech like solar pumps, etc.). This FPO project also has a gender component to increase women’s roles in FPOs.

Other tools/platform Grameen Foundation has developed includes:

  • Value chain specific tools, including coffee

  • Aghub

  • Agri-path

More about their Digital Farming work: https://grameenfoundation.org/solving-poverty/digital-farming

Next steps:

  • Grameen Foundation to share more about their Agrihub platform

  • Communities of practices - how to connect them to the Agrihub?

 

Overall, this was more of an introductory/explore partnerships call than a meeting about the integration with Cool Farm Alliance’s tool and integration with our MRV work.
