The SmartGreenFactory project is an ongoing project aimed at creating a dynamic digital ecosystem connecting farmers, farmer cooperatives, and agri-startups to promote sustainable job opportunities in rural areas and startup hubs across Cameroon. This project develops a comprehensive digital platform that provides essential information and resources to help launch and sustain farming and agri-startup projects tailored to specific locations within Cameroon.
The platform offers training and support to at least 50 farming projects annually, focusing on generating employment for young people and women. It also provides guidance on sustainable agriculture practices and promote sustainable tourism related to local plants. Additionally, SmartGreenFactory features a marketplace to facilitate the sale and distribution of products from these farming projects, enhancing market access and economic viability.
By equipping users with the knowledge, tools, market opportunities, and sustainable practices needed to succeed in agriculture, SmartGreenFactory empowers communities, enhance agricultural productivity, and foster economic growth.
