SHE-AGRIVATES PROJECT

BRIEF

The project involves training women farmers as peer leaders (“She-AgriVators”) who replicate climate-smart practices in their communities, the model scales organically through local networks. Combining regenerative agriculture, digital tools, and market linkages creates self-reinforcing cycles of income growth and environmental restoration.

In April  2025, WomSTEM Innovation and Entrepreneurship Agency began training 150 women (prospective trainers) on digital tools.

In June 2025, it facilitated an all women session "Innovation Meets Impact: Africa Leading AgriTech Transformation during the Global Landscapes Forum in partnership with CIFOR-ICRAF, Google Women Techmakers and AI STEM Partnerships Hub.

The global event hosted 2,300 participants from 122 countries and reached over 10 million people via social media and media channels. https://www.globallandscapesforum.org/video/innovation-meets-impact-how-africa-is-leading-agri-tech-transformation

TRACTION

Training of Trainers: 150 women to train 15000 African farmers and agripreneurs starting with Kenya, Ghana and South Africa.  ● Facilitated digital literacy for improved market access to women owning 200+ acres of farmland.  ● Early traction includes partnerships with CIFOR-ICRAF, Sustain Africa, Vambo Multilingual AI (South Africa), Kenya Space Agency (Kenya), and GIZ (Ghana) to expand reach and technical capacity.

EXPONENTIAL IMPACT 

1. Training women innovators as Trainers.

2. Training women in agriculture and biosystems as Facilitators.  

3. Training women farmers as peer leaders (“She-AgriVators”) who replicate climate-smart practices in their communities. 

The model scales organically through local networks. Integrating regenerative farming, digital innovations, and market access builds a continuous cycle where rising incomes and ecosystem restoration strengthen and sustain each other.

Strategic partnerships with local governments, agritech firms, and development agencies enable rapid replication across regions and countries.

While other programs operate through large-scale, donor-driven programs, we are a lean, women-led social enterprise that blends climate-smart agriculture with digital innovation and entrepreneurship. We focus on peer-to-peer replication. Our approach integrates cutting-edge tools like multilingual AI and geospatial data to localize solutions and accelerate adoption.
