We Empower Climate-Smart Agriculture In Africa

KijaniSpace is a Horizon Europe-funded initiative dedicated to transforming agriculture in Africa through cutting-edge technologies.

By integrating Copernicus Earth Observation data with IoT solutions, we empower smallholder farmers with actionable insights for climate-smart farming. Central to our mission is the KijaniBox, a unique platform that simplifies access to satellite data and local IoT resources. Through innovative programs and pilot projects, KijaniSpace is fostering sustainability, boosting productivity, and building a resilient agricultural future for Africa.
