Monitoring Solutions

We provide a customised monitoring tool called DAF Tracker, developed for us by FarmTree, specifically designed to support the successful implementation and management of Dynamic Agroforestry (DAF) systems. This tool offers an integrated approach to managing complex agroforestry systems by combining robust data collection and intuitive visualization capabilities.

Track Dynamic Agroforestry progress properly

Comprehensive farmer and polygon profiling with interactive map visualization and customizable scoring metrics enables detailed tracking, strategic planning, and project-specific evaluations.

Farmer and Polygon Profiling

Document detailed profiles for each farmer and their polygons, capturing essential data such as boundaries, crop compositions, and management practices. This ensures comprehensive documentation and traceability at all stages of the project.

Interactive Map-Based Visualization

Polygons are displayed on an interactive map, color-coded using a traffic light system (green for optimal performance, yellow for moderate, and red for areas needing attention). This visual approach allows for instant identification of critical areas and supports strategic planning.

Customizable Scoring Metrics

Evaluate essential parameters such as plant density, species diversity, pruning quality, soil cover, and organic matter accumulation. The scoring system is tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each project.

Enhance DAF Systems with High-Quality Support and Data Insights

The DAF tracker enhances DAF systems by providing real-time decision support, offline data collection in remote areas, and advanced data management for improved efficiency and scalability.

Real-Time Decision Support:

Provide stakeholders with actionable insights based on current data. The visual summaries and detailed analysis enable efficient decision-making, improving the productivity and sustainability of DAF systems.

Offline Functionality

Designed for field conditions, the tool supports offline data collection in remote locations. Data can be synchronized when a connection is available, ensuring uninterrupted operations in challenging environments.

Advanced Data Management

Aggregate and analyze data across regions, cooperatives, or individual farmers. Exportable reports provide insights for both field-level management and strategic scaling efforts.

Adding value by collecting, analysing and visualising the right data

Our monitoring tool transforms the management of DAF projects by enabling:

  • Improved transparency and accountability for project stakeholders.
  • Streamlined data collection and analysis, saving time and resources.
  • Targeted management actions based on visual performance tracking.
  • Enhanced project outcomes by addressing underperforming areas efficiently.
