We Farm are building an SMS-based social network for farmers, with Kenny Ewan

When you consider different ways of getting information, you might think of going on Google or reading a book But how to do this in an environment with no libraries, computers, let alone internet access? Farmers in the field have limited means to get information and We Farm are looking to help by providing a Peer to Peer platform for farmers to send SMS questions and answers to each other. Kenny, the CEO, and I discuss the process – of pairing these questions and answers, why he thinks people are altruistically contributing to the platform and the most common question that they get asked by farmers… At times the audio is a little bit iffy, but we’ve done our best to edit things to what is hopefully an acceptable level, if you want some more information head to samfloy.com / podcast for the show notes.
