Our Services
We design and deliver practical solutions that combine engineering, agriculture, environmental science, and technology. Our work moves from research and planning to implementation, training, and long-term support.
Water & Irrigation Technologies
We plan, design, and implement efficient irrigation, water harvesting, and solar-powered energy systems suited to local conditions.
Environmental Monitoring & Smart Sensing
We deploy field-based monitoring systems that support better decision-making. This includes weather stations, soil and water sensors, and smart farming technologies that provide reliable data for managing crops, water, and environmental conditions.
Research, Development & Consultancy
Our consultancy services are driven by applied research and real-world needs. We provide feasibility studies, business and project planning, proposal development, monitoring and evaluation, GIS and remote sensing, and capacity building to support informed investment and sustainable growth.
Fish Farming Systems
We design and develop sustainable fish farming systems from the ground up. This includes site surveys, pond design and construction, fingerling selection, feeding schedules, training, and technical advisory services aimed at improving survival rates and profitability.
Environmental Management Solutions
We develop practical environmental management approaches focused on sustainability and resource efficiency. Our work includes agro-waste solutions, eco-friendly farming practices, and waste management concepts that reduce environmental impact while supporting productive systems.
Hydroponics & Greenhouse Farming

News & Update
The Concept of SMART Farming
Long before dashboards and satellites, farmers read the land. They watched ants, clouds, soil colour, bird movement, and the weight of seed in the hand. They practiced delayed irrigation, crop rotation, fallowing, and mixed farming not because of data models, but because survival demanded it. Smart farming does not replace this intelligence. It formalises it. It records what was once
Case Study #2: Annual Monitoring and Evaluation of Micro-scale UgiFT Irrigation Systems
Micro-scale irrigation systems have been widely promoted to improve household food security and incomes. However, once installed, many systems are rarely assessed to determine whether they are functioning as intended, being properly used, or delivering meaningful impact. Without structured monitoring and evaluation, lessons are lost and the same mistakes are repeated across regions.
