Title: How Data & Systems Transformed Smallholder Farming in Kenya: A Digital Traceability Model for Resilience Description: In this 3-minute video, Sharon Kaitano—a seasoned Digital Transformation Strategist and Management Consultant based in Kenya—shares a powerful case study on using simple, scalable tools to reduce post-harvest losses among 200 smallholder farmers by 22%. Set against the backdrop of Kenya’s agricultural landscape, the video introduces a low-cost digital traceability system built using Excel, dashboards, and solar dryers. Sharon walks us through the Logical Framework that anchored project success, a real-time dashboard that enabled adaptive management, and an Excel-based quality and traceability system that gave farmers market leverage and year-round income. This is more than a tech showcase—it’s a blueprint for inclusive, community-owned digital transformation in agriculture.
