Our platform HappyFarm revolutionizes farming with a unique blend of technology and community. By connecting farmers, ambassadors, and partners through a state-of-the-art app, we ensure every plant is verified for quality. Tailored eLearning adapts to regional farming needs, making regenerative agriculture scalable and accessible. Join us in nurturing a future where technology meets tradition, fostering growth in every seed sown.
We promote Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), which involves the systematic regrowth and management of trees and shrubs from felled stumps and sprouting root systems. The regrown trees and shrubs - planted between crops - help restore soil structure and fertility, reduce erosion and evaporation, restore and stabilise groundwater levels and increase biodiversity. Some tree species also release nutrients such as nitrogen into the soil.
Under ideal conditions, we find at least ten to several dozen stumps per farm to regrow into mature trees. The existing root system will speed up recovery and help us sequester CO2 much faster. Where necessary, farmers will plant selected saplings to achieve at least this level.
Through our platform, we teach farmers how to make better use of their land by adopting regenerative practices. The regrown trees and shrubs - planted between crops - help restore soil structure and fertility, reduce erosion and evaporation, restore and stabilise water tables and increase biodiversity.
The farms we select have to have a minimum of 10 tree stumps with existing root stock that can grow into trees (not all stumps are suitable). Usually, the closer the field is to the village, the less shrubs are there, because they have been cut down so many times to satisfy the need for firewood. The farther away, the more shrubs that qualify.

New ambassadors are carefully referred by existing ambassadors and undergo thorough training in the methods necessary for farmers to join the initiative. They then recruit farmers from their own community and, with the assistance of our tailored application, guide them in adopting these methods. The ambassadors are rewarded with a signing-up bonus, and throughout the program, they will receive performance bonuses based on the correct implementation of the methods by the farmers.
Our app is designed to empower farmers and ambassadors with key features:
- Farmers and ambassadors can register a farm and follow our curated curriculum on regenerative farming practices.
- Access to eLearning content in their local language is provided for both farmers and ambassadors.
- Engaging gamification: Users can participate in competitions, earn points and receive rewards.
- Users can upload verification pictures to showcase the implementation of techniques recommended in our curriculum on their farm.
- Users can easily view their earned balance and seamlessly withdraw it through our integrated mobile money partners.
Partners benefit from a sophisticated dashboard offering a comprehensive view of verification images, GPS coordinates, and other pertinent information for trees in their portfolio undergoing regeneration.
For tree-based practices such as FMNR, we apply a yearly fee per tree, while area-based practices like mulching or composting incur a fee per hectare. This flexible approach enables us to customize pricing according to the specific nature and scale of each method.
