Farmer Extension Agricultural Learning App
Site-Da-Lae – Farmers companion mobile learning app to help Myanmar farmers broaden skills and knowledge on sustainable and modern agriculture.
Problems Addressed
Farmers in many developing countries lack adequate resources and information on sustainable agriculture development. In Myanmar, and in many other developing countries, most rural farmers often find themselves in this field of work often as a consequence, and not as a choice.
As such, it takes an incredible amount of trial and error for farmers to find the solutions that work for them, amounting to costly mistakes that add further financial burdens and debt for rural farmers. Generational knowledge of farming practices, only passed down by word-of-mouth, are also unreliable and inconsistent with the changing climate and weather patterns of today. 360ed’s Site-Da-Lae was developed to directly address these challenges.
Solution
In collaboration with WWF Myanmar, 360ed develops Site-Da-Lae to solve the main challenge. Its key objective is to raise the awareness of farmers related with sustainable agriculture knowledge and information.
With the help of Site-Da-Lae, the farmers and communities who can read and write in the Myanmar language and have lower-end smartphones with limited or no regular internet connectivity can get access to knowledge and information concerning sustainable agriculture.
Problems Addressed
Farmers in many developing countries lack adequate resources and access to information on sustainable agriculture development. In Myanmar, approximately 70% of the population depends on agriculture for their livelihoods, yet a large proportion of them still do not have access to reliable, up-to-date knowledge on sustainable farming practices. Most rural farmers in the country often find themselves in this line of work not by choice, but as a consequence of circumstance.
As such, it takes an incredible amount of trial and error for farmers to discover what methods work best for their land and crops—resulting in costly mistakes and increasing financial burdens. In addition, generational knowledge passed down by word of mouth is often unreliable and cannot keep pace with the changing climate and weather patterns of today. Therefore, 360ed’s Site-Da-Lae was developed to address these challenges directly by providing accessible, expert-backed agricultural education tailored to the needs of Myanmar’s farmers.
Solution
In collaboration with WWF Myanmar, 360ed developed Site-Da-Lae to directly respond to the need for accessible agricultural knowledge among Myanmar’s rural communities. Its key objective is to raise awareness and understanding of sustainable farming practices through expert-backed content tailored for local farmers.
With the help of Site-Da-Lae, farmers and community members who can read and write in the Myanmar language and have lower-end smartphones with limited or no regular internet connectivity can gain access to essential knowledge on sustainable agriculture. The app ensures that vital agricultural information reaches those who need it most, empowering them to make informed decisions, reduce risks, and improve their livelihoods.
