The Haller Farmers application is now available in French

The Haller Farmers application is now available in French, the third most widely spoken language on the African continent. The application, recognised by the FAO, is an intuitive mobile application that provides small-scale farmers in Africa with knowledge about growing local crops, as well as information about local, innovative and affordable traditional techniques that are organic and environmentally friendly.

Launched by the Haller Foundation in 2014, initially in English and Swahili, the Haller Farmers app has already provided 30,000 small-scale farmers with affordable, organic and environmentally-friendly farming techniques. This free and accessible platform helps farmers to improve their productivity and sustainability. Continuously enhanced, it connects farmers via a chat facility, as part of a co-creation and knowledge-sharing approach, and provides weather information, price quotes, etc. It can also be used offline, which is essential for a population with little access to WiFi.

La Maison de l’Artemisia translated the application into French and enhanced it with its expertise and knowledge of artemisia annua and afra for human health and the fight against malaria, as well as for environmental and animal health (One Health).

Our partnership with the Haller Foundation means that the Haller Farmers application is now available to 200 million French-speaking smallholders, who will gain easy access to sustainable farming techniques, be able to begin their transition to agro-ecology, and also network, protect and improve the health of their communities, as well as that of their livestock and their soil.
