Dairy Farmers Mapping
- Details
- Category: Geo
In November 2011 Upande ltd carried out a mapping exercise on Kiambaa Dairy Cooperative farmers.
Based on mobile dairy data collection. The idea is to locate farmers, milk collection points and milk collection routes.
The data collected is then presented digitally on maps, making it easy to be analysed to improve the daily logistics of the collection and – ultimately – to improve income generation for the farmers and livelihood improvement.
The project, funded by SNV-Netherlands is a collaboration with Friesland Campina the leading Dutch Creamery and Agriterra, a dutch based NGO with focus on farmer cooperatives.
