Synnefa

About Synnefa Our mission is to eliminate risks and improve incomes for 1,000,000 farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our vision is to see a world where African smallholder farmers generate a legacy of thriving farms for future generations. Synnefa, a Greek word for 'cloud', is crucial for both farmers who need clouds for rain and technology developers who rely on Cloud infrastructure for their applications. Our agricultural philosophy: Farmers face compounding challenges of climate change, decreasing land sizes, soil erosion, inadequate supply chains, unpredictable markets and poor access to capital which trap them in poverty. They simply lack control! To solve for all these challenges is hard! There is no shortcut or silver bullet that will solve for all these challenges farmers face today. We believe that a multi approach to the challenges farmers face is what it will take to move the dot and create the impact we want to see. Once we see this impact, we need to take it to scale. Our Theory of Change is that if we build and finance climate smart farming tools for farmers, then they will grow high value crops year-round while using fewer resources, and their incomes will improve. Our strategy to reach scale is to focus on the problems that matter for farmers, develop the solutions locally because we are closest to the problem and understand it better, solve for these real problems and build partnerships with stakeholders that believe in our mission. Working together with farmers; Our company slogan is making complex farming feel simple! because that’s what we do every day. We push ourselves to create solutions that will make complex farming feel simple. Growing food deserves to be easy when using modern farming solutions.We do this by partnering with farmers to provide them with affordable modern farming solutions to increase efficiency and improve production. We want farmers to do what they love most-farming! and leave all the heavy lifting to us!
