A deliberately simplified view: large icons, short sentences and no jargon, built to work on a basic phone and to be pushed out over SMS or WhatsApp.
Designed for accessibility and low connectivity. Icon-led guidance, plain language, and no data-heavy maps — every advisory below also goes out as a text message to 3 830 registered farmers.
