Innovative, modern solutions for efficient farmers

About Synnefa

Our mission is to eliminate risks and improve incomes for 1,000,000 farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Our vision is to see a world where African smallholder farmers generate a legacy of thriving farms for future generations.

Synnefa, a Greek word for 'cloud', is crucial for both farmers who need clouds for rain and technology developers who rely on Cloud infrastructure for their applications.

Our agricultural philosophy

Farmers face compounding challenges of climate change, decreasing land sizes, soil erosion, inadequate supply chains, unpredictable markets and poor access to capital which trap them in poverty.

They simply lack control!

To solve for all these challenges is hard! There is no shortcut or silver bullet that will solve for all these challenges farmers face today. We believe that a multi approach to the challenges farmers face is what it will take to move the dot and create the impact we want to see. Once we see this impact, we need to take it to scale.

Our Theory of Change is that if we build and finance climate smart farming tools for farmers, then they will grow high value crops year-round while using fewer resources, and their incomes will improve.

Our strategy to reach scale is focusing on making our products and services good enough, simple enough to be used and cheap enough for a market size that is big enough. We call it the 4 enoughs for scale.

Working together with farmers

Our company slogan is making complex farming feel simple! because that’s what we do every day. We push ourselves to create solutions that will make complex farming feel simple.
