Agape Innovations Limited

Agape Innovations Limited is a youth-led social enterprise that is focused on solving agriculture problems using science and innovation. We provide solutions to farmers that are effective, cost friendly, environmentally conscious, and easy to use by an average African farmer. Our activities are divided into the following four departments. 1) Agro-inputs Department: This deals with products that farmers use in their gardens. The characteristics of products in this department are: organic, affordable, easy to use and effective. Our products include Pheromone traps of all quarantine pests, organic Fertilizers among others. 2) Seeds Department: This department deals with seeds of vegetables and legumes. This department is determined to help farmers avoid falling prey to substandard seeds by availing seeds with a high germination percentage, high cultivar purity and true-to-type seeds. 3) Circular department: This is a unit where we convert organic waste into organic fertilizer. we are able to do this by rearing black soldier flies which we feed with waste from kampala markets. As they feed on this waste, these insects turn it into a soil like material called frass. This material is our major ingredient of our Agape organic Fertilizer. We also have azolla gardens that get us ingredients for making a protein rich animal feed that we are soon introducing to the market. 4) Agri-tech Department: This is mandated to develop ICT interventions to solve farmers' problems. Our ICT products are free, operate offline and do not collect user data. Currently we have various mobile applications on the Google playstore. The outstanding one is the push-pull app that helps farmers of maize and sorghum get knowledge on how to control pests and diseases without using chemicals. We are also part of the KijaniSpace project that is using copenicus data and IoT to solve farmers' challenges that are due to weather changes.
