We help Smallholder Farmers
Dawadawa Impact Initiative (DII) is a social enterprise that empowers farmers to build resilience to climate change. We are a team of inspired and dedicated social entrepreneurs who have taken on the mission to revolutionize agriculture in Africa by rewriting the rules of agriculture through deploying innovation in agricultural products in the farm-to-table food system.

Transforming Food Security
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG2), which aims to “end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture,” calls for an increase in productivity for smallholder farmers. This also addresses SDG1, which aims to “end poverty in all its forms everywhere.”Harnessing the power of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), DII has developed cutting-edge technologies to guarantee that smallholders have access to sustainable livelihoods, entrepreneurial endeavors, and resources. Our tools aim not only to assist those living in poverty but also reduce gender inequalities by addressing the disproportionate impact of poverty on women.We are confident that our smallholder farmers can reap substantial monetary gains, enhance productivity, and improve food security through full value-chain transparency.
Our belief in the potential of smallholder farmers to make large financial gains, increase productivity, and ensure food security is unwavering. By leveraging post-harvest technology coupled with an innovative digital farm management system, we guarantee that the quality and quantity of crops like grains, seeds, and pulses are not compromised during harvest tracking for optimal results. Incorporating these growers into all levels of the value chain creates a platform for increased yields as well as boundless growth opportunities for their net incomes.
How We Help Farmers
At DII, we follow a systematic process to identify problems and promote appropriate agricultural technologies and products to address constraints faced by smallholder farmers. Our process involves the following steps:
Our team conducts field visits and consultations with farmers, extension workers, and other stakeholders to identify the problems faced by smallholder farmer
Once the problems are identified, we conduct a thorough review of available agricultural technologies and products that can help address the identified challenges.
We select a few promising technologies and products and conduct pilot testing in collaboration with farmers and other stakeholders.
After successful pilot testing, we work with partners and stakeholders to scale up the adoption of the technology or product.
