Crowdfarming startup that feeds the cows online.
Crowdfunding in agricultural ventures is a simple way to foster communal help for farmers. Farmable, the crowdfarming startup that feeds the cows online.Animal health is the biggest restriction to improving productivity of livestock in Ghana, where myriad of local diseases restrict animal productivity and cause high mortality rates. This is a result of reluctance by smallholders to administer vaccines, lack of knowledge about available medicines and the cost of and access to vaccinations and other medication.
Many farmers lack basic production and managerial capabilities to efficiently manage their livestock. Because of this, they do not understand the importance of basic inputs such as provision of sheds for their animals, drenching, dipping or vaccinations of their livestock. This leads to poor animal health and business practices, low quality cattle and increased mortality rates.
Farmers are often forced to sell cattle for lower prices before the market is ready due to hunger or the need to send their children to school. Transporting cattle to markets is also difficult due to lack of water resources, poor roads and lack of transport options. Accessing the cattle markets can pose one of the great challenges for many smallholder farmers.
The solution came in the form of Farmable,the crowdfarming startup that feeds the cows online. This platform uses crowdfarming of cows with a vision to create a self sustaining enterprise that empowers small holder farmers in Ghana to fight hunger without reliance on external aid. The goal is to raise awareness of the issues facing small holder cattle farmers in Ghana, help them achieve independence and create a crowfunding platform that is both fun and engaging to the world.
Farmable;the crowdfarming platform in which social investors and the cowbackers, can purchase a “share” in a real cow in Ghana, a cowshare, in return for exclusive rewards. Farmable is an innovative on-line funding model,that fosters communal help,where individuals support one another by working together. look
